Ingredients

• Drizzle:
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 package Miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon shortening

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light
and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.

In a smaller bowl, combine flour and baking soda.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.

Roll dough into 1-1/4-inch balls. Press a miniature peanut butter cup into
each; reshape balls.

Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

For drizzle,melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, and shortening in a microwave (or in a double boiler). Stir until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. (I allowed my mixture to cool slightly and then put it into a Ziploc bag. I snipped off a tiny portion of the corner of the bag so I could drizzle the cookies.)
