Peanut Butter Cookies with Mini Peanut Butter Cups

Stephanie Gallagher
Love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter? Who doesn't? This peanut butter cookies recipe is like a peanut butter cup in a cookie.

A soft peanut butter cookie base is dotted with chopped miniature peanut butter cups. Yum!

You can find oat flour in most large supermarkets or a natural foods store. It's okay to substitute all-purpose flour for the oat flour, if you can't find it, but the oat flour makes these peanut butter cookies really tender.

  • 1-1/4 cups peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup firmly-packed light brown sugar

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 15-20 miniature peanut butter cups

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Cream together the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar and honey with an electric mixer. Add in eggs, beating until smooth.

  3. Whisk together the flours and baking powder. Add to the peanut butter mixture until combined. Do not overmix.

  4. Chop peanut butter cups into small pieces. Stir into cookie batter.

  5. Drop by rounded tablespoonsful onto ungreased cookie sheets.
