Peanut Butter Pop'ems

Ingredients:

About 40 REESE's Peanut Butter Cups (miniatures)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Remove wrappers from candies.  Line small muffin cups with paper bake cups

2.  Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, egg and vanilla in large bowl until light and fluffy in a large bowl.

3.  Stir together flour, salt and baking soda; add to butter mixture, blending well.

4.  Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place one in each prepared muffin cup.  Do NOT flatten.

5.  Bake 10 to 12 minutes until puffed and lightly browned; remove from oven.

6.  Immediately press peanut butter cups onto each cookie.

7.  Cool completely in muffin pan.

Makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.

If you're a peanut butter lover, then this recipe is for you.  These cookies provide the perfect mix of cookie + candy.  Not only they are they easy to make, but they are fun too!  Whether you make them for a holiday dessert, with a group of friends, or just for fun, they turn out great every time.

I made these cookies before attending a family meal over the holiday.  They were a huge hit from everyone!  My family loves peanut butter, so these cookies hit the spot.  Within minutes the whole plate turned to a pile of crumbs.

They will put a smile on both your face and tummy! Be sure to try them out!
