Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.

2. 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.

3. Bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool and carefully remove from pan.

Note: Recommend freezing the peanut butter cups before pressing them into warm cookies. Being placed in a warm cookie makes the peanut butter cups melt, but starting from frozen, they are sure to hold their shape. Best not to remove cookies from pans until they are truly cooled.
