How to cook deliciously - Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined. Editor's Tip: It may take a bit for the butter, peanut butter and sugar mixture to become light and fluffy. Be patient! The result is worth it.

2. Stage

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat well. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chocolate chips and peanut butter cups until they’re evenly dispersed throughout the dough.

3. Stage

Drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Editor’s Tip: Use a cookie scoop to make the process quicker and create consistent cookie sizes. A cookie scoop is, quite literally, first on our list of essential cookie baking supplies.

4. Stage

Bake the cookies until the edges are lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for two minutes, then move them to wire racks. Editor’s Tip: If you have any leftover chocolate chips or chopped peanut butter cups, carefully push them into the tops of the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven. We love how this makes the cookies look gourmet and it adds even more to each bite.
