This is my second peanut butter and chocolate recipe for the twelve weeks of Christmas cookies, I am aware but I do not apologize. How could I? There is no better combination. Try and name one! These pups are a regular around these parts. They are on the list of cookies my baby boy in baby blue jeans (formerly known as my little brother) loves. They are a staple in my kitchen.

Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies
From Everyday Food Cookie Special
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar, for rolling dough
44 mini peanut butter cups, frozen and unwrapped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using an electric mixer, cream peanut butter and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add brown sugar; beat until combined, scraping down bowl as needed. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat until incorporated. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture in two batches. Scoop off dough by an even tablespoon; roll into balls. Place granulated sugar in a shallow bowl; roll balls in sugar, coating completely. Place 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until cookies begin to puff up slightly, about 7 minutes. Remove from oven. Press one peanut butter cup in center of each cookie. Return to oven; continue baking until cookies are golden brown and chocolate has begun to melt, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Let cool at least 10 minutes on baking sheet before transferring cookies to rack to cool completely.
