Ingredients

  • 1/2 C 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 C creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 C light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 C gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp xantham gum
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 48 miniature Reese's peanut butter cups

Instructions

  • Cream together butter, peanut butter and sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, xantham gum, salt and baking soda.
  • With the mixer running on low-speed, add the dry ingredients in a little at a time. Scrape down the sides to make sure it's all incorporated.
  • Form dough into a ball and transfer dough to a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap tight and refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, unwrap the mini Reese's peanut butter cups.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and spray your mini muffin tins with non-stick spray.
  • Fill each cup with 1 Tbsp of dough and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Immediately press a Reese's peanut butter cup into each cookie cup.
  • Let cookies cool completely in pan before removing. Trying to remove the cookie cups while warm may cause the cookie to fall apart.
  • Serve as soon as the cookies cool (or as long as you can wait). The chocolate will still be slightly warm.
  • Makes 4 dozen cookies.
