# Ingredients:
01 -
1/2 teaspoon salt.
02 -
1 teaspoon baking soda.
03 -
2 1/2 cups of plain flour.
04 -
1 cup of butter (unsalted and softened).
05 -
3/4 cup white sugar.
06 -
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
07 -
2 large eggs.
08 -
2 teaspoons vanilla essence.
09 -
1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips (semisweet).
10 -
12 mini peanut butter cups.
# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place parchment paper on your baking tray.
02 -
Combine salt, flour, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Give it a good stir and put it aside.
03 -
Mix softened butter with both sugars in a big bowl until creamy and fluffy. Stir in eggs one by one, then pour in vanilla and mix again until smooth.
04 -
Add the dry mix to the creamed mixture slowly, stirring just enough to blend everything together. Toss in the chocolate chips and fold them through.
05 -
Scoop around 2 tablespoons of dough and shape it into a flat round. Pop a mini peanut butter cup in the middle, then cover it with another tablespoon of dough. Seal the dough around the candy snugly.
06 -
Place the dough balls onto the baking tray, making sure to leave around 2 inches of space between them.
07 -
Let them bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn a nice golden color. Cool them right on the tray for five minutes, then move them onto a rack to finish cooling.
