Peanut Butter Temptations

Really - you can find this recipe on any package of Reese's mini peanut butter cups and they are absolutely delicious!  I only make them at Christmas time, but they aren't a Christmas cookie.  So yummy and my kids love them.  I really only share in case by chance you have never had them or seen the recipe.


Peanut Butter Temptations
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 t. vanilla
1 1/4 c. flour
3/4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
48 mini Reese's cups, unwrapped

Cream together butter, peanut butter and sugar.  Add egg and vanilla.  Mix in dry ingredients - flour, baking soda and salt.  Once dough is combined, chill 1 hour.    Shape dough into 48 balls.  Line mini muffin pan cups with paper liners.  Drop 1 ball into each cup.  Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.  Once done immediately place Reese's cup in center and press into cookie.  Let cool before removing from pan.
