Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 cups coarsely chopped peanut butter cups, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 and prepare a baking sheet by spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and set aside. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk, and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix to form a thick dough. (If the dough is very dry and crumbly, add an extra tablespoon or so of milk to help it come together.) Gently fold in the peanut butter cups, reserving about 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top of the cookies. Scoop large spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet (I used an ice cream scoop) and sprinkle with remaining peanut butter cups. Bake 12-14 minutes, being careful not to over bake. Let cool on baking sheet for ten minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
