• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups

2.In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3.In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, peanut butter, and butter until creamy, 2-3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in 3/4 cup peanut butter cups.
