Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

This is one of those recipes that I made a while back and never got around to posting. Don't know why it's taken me this long to post it because these cookies are really good! Kids will love them and they are easy to make. I found the recipe over at Cate's blog called Sweetnicks. She has some great recipes on her site and her kids are just adorable.

The past few days I am trying to use up lots of stuff that I have in my pantry. Cans of pumpkin, jars of jams, you name it. I have a habit of buying things for a specific recipe and then if I don't make that recipe right away another one will interest me and there sit the ingredients that I bought for the original one I had in mind! So I am trying to use up what I have on hand. Hope you enjoy these cookies!

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons milk

40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter bups, unwrapped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside. Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk. Add the flour mixture; mix well. Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool and carefully remove from pan.
