Candy & Cookie! Peanut Butter Temptations

Sometimes you find a fantastic recipe on the packaging that is worth keeping. This was the case on a big bag of holiday Reese's peanut butter cup miniatures. Not just candy, not just a cookie, but both!

Ingredients:
40 Reese's Miniatures
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 F degrees. Remove wrappers from candies. Line small muffin cups with paper bake cups. You can also use a mini muffin pan as seen in the photo and skip the muffin cups! Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, egg and vanilla until fluffy in large bowl. Stir together, baking soda and salt;  gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; place one in each muffin cup. Do not flatten. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until puffed and lightly browned; remove from oven. Immediately press peanut butter cup in center of each cookie. Cool completely in muffin pan.
