Notes
*This recipe was written using an average of the dip and sweep method for measuring flour and the spoon and level method. If you are using a scale, you will need to add 3/4 oz or 22 g to the measurement for each cup of flour.
Substitutions:
- You can use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.
- Thin dark chocolate peanut butter cups can be used to help cut some of the sweetness!
- You can also make your own peanut butter cups with our recipe. Just remember that if you do this, you will need to make them thinner so it will be easier to stuff inside the cookie.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are room temperature.
- Be careful to not over mix the cookie dough.
- The cookie dough itself is very sticky. It’s best to work with one cookie at a time.
- You will need to keep your hands clean when stuffing the cookies!
- Make sure the peanut butter cup is entirely covered with cookie dough.
- Place only 6 cookies per pan so they will have room to spread.
- Let these cookies cool on the pan before eating!
