Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 24 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups, unwrapped and frozen
• ½ cup peanut butter chips
• Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Directions:

1. Place unwrapped miniature Reese's cups in the freezer at least 2 hours before baking (preferably overnight). This prevents them from melting too quickly during baking.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips and the peanut butter chips.
8. Using a cookie scoop, place approximately 1 ½ tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup. The cups should be about ⅔ full.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and tops are lightly golden.
10. Remove from oven and immediately press a frozen Reese's peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie cup. The edges will crack slightly - this is normal and adds to the rustic appearance.
11. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips over the tops while still hot, allowing them to melt slightly. If desired, sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt.
12. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully run a knife around the edges and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
