When I was thinking of what recipe I would whip up, I thought – why not make something that was comforting with a bit of sass and these Cinnamon Peanut Butter Cup Cookies were a must. The key to these – a good cookie scoop, mini-muffin tins (because if you put them on a cookie sheet they will spread like the wind) and patience to unwrap all the mini Peanut Butter Cups (and willpower to not eat them all!)
I did have to valiently fight to keep them away from family and friends – finally saying “OK – I need 3 dozen and after that, they are YOURS!”. Well, sure enough – I had just enough to ship and the UPS man whisked them off to their new destinations. I was stoked to see that I had Lauren from Healthy Delicious, Aubrey of The Real Housemoms and Meghan of Cake ‘n Knife to send them too. Their blogs are nothing short of fabulous and I have a bunch of new food blogs to add to my must read list .
Need to bake up some fab cookies for a cookie swap of your own? Bake these and I promise that your cookies will be the hands down fave. Need to bake them for family and friends – prepare for accolades.
On to the recipe:
Gather the ingredients
Resist the urge to taste test the batter – remember, you are on a mission!
Scoop the batter into mini muffin tins
Nestle the Peanut Butter Cups into the warm dough.
Enjoy!
