  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Preparation:

  1. Place peanut butter cups in the freezer (there's no need to unwrap them; just place the whole bag in the freezer).

  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flours and baking soda. Set aside.

  4. Cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugars together. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
