Peanut Butter Temptations

 This recipe is from Hersheyland.com and you can't go wrong with anything from Hershey Land.  We took a road trip out East and stopped at Hershey and ended up coming back with way too many bags of goodies.  Shopping bags full.  Nope, I don't regret it.

If you know me, you know that anything with peanut butter is on my must-make list. 

Peanut Butter Temptations

1/2 c. butter, softened

1/2 c. light brown sugar

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. creamy peanut butter

1 egg

1/2 t. vanilla extract

1 1/2 c. flour (192 grams)

1/2 t. salt

3/4 t. baking powder

36 - 40 mini peanut butter cups

Beat the butter, sugars, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla until light and fluffy.  Combine the flour, baking powder and salt and add to the peanut butter mixture and mix until blended.

Roll into 1 inch balls and place in mini muffin tins.  

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned.  I found that a darker pan takes 10 while a light silver takes 11 minutes.  Remove from oven and press 1 peanut butter cup in each cookie.  Let it cool completely in the pan before removing them.
