Peanut Butter-Cup Cookies
John Kernick
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 375° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the peanut butter cups.
Step 3
Drop tablespoon-size mounds of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until light brown around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a baking rack to cool.

This was a very dry cookie dough as you need the second egg, rule of the thumb in any basic Cookie recipe. Once this was corrected they seemed perfect. Baking nicely. So it was a good recipe.

These were soft, thin, and good. They were not too sugary.

These turned out great!
Changes I made were:
Added one more egg, because the dough seemed way too dry. Baked at 350 for 9 minutes.
They came out soft and chewy! Everyone loved them.

Yum! Take these out a few minutes early for soft and gooey cookies. I cut full size cups into big chunks and they melted just right!

I made these but froze half the dough for later. The first batch was baked as directed and came out thin and crispy. I threw them out. I baked the dough I had stuck in the freezer at 350 for 9-10 minutes and they were perfect! Fluffy and chewy!

I tried this recipe for a cookie swap and everyone (including me) liked it a lot. They were crispy and the peanut butter cup flavor came through nicely. I chopped the p-butter cups in the food processor so they were inconsistent in size but that was o.k. I would definitely make them again.

I love this recipe! Everyone loves them and they can never get enough of them. I use the regular mini cups and yeah i have to chop them up but i don't mind, well i usually have my boyfriend or my sister do it. I have already made them like 10 times literally! And we don't get tired of them. Highly recommend to peanut butter recess cup lovers like me!

I was very unhappy with this receipe. The cookies are incredibly thin and crispy, the dough was hard to manage, and the trader joe's mini pb cups were terribly melted, if not burnt by the time the cookies were finished. Perhaps adding the chips in halfway through baking would prevent this. I should note that I didn't use parchment paper, so maybe the mistake was mine. I also only baked mine for 7 minutes. My first batch was in for 9 minutes and they were burnt.

We just made the cookies and I was kind of disappointed. They were on the dry side. Next time we are going to add more butter or try cooking them for less time. We did use the parchment paper and chopped up the reese cups in a food processor.
