To make these cookie cups I started by creaming together some butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with an electric mixer.
Once the mixture was smooth I added in some eggs and vanilla.
Then I gradually added in some flour along with some baking powder and salt.
When the cookie dough was ready I pressed it into a greased muffin tin forming the dough into cups.
I greased my muffin tin with Pam Spray For Baking.
I use this cooking spray for pretty much everything because I find it way less greasy than other sprays and also very effective.
I’ve never had trouble removing anything from a pan when using this spray.
I baked the cookies until they were just starting to brown around the edges.
Then I removed them from the oven and placed one caramel into the center of each cookie cup pressing down gently.
I placed two regular mini peanut butter cups and two white chocolate mini peanut butter cups into each cookie cup and sprinkled a few roasted peanuts on top.
I returned the cookies to the oven to finish baking.
When the cookies were done baking I allowed them to cool for about fifteen minutes before removing them from the pan.
If you try to remove them too soon they will just fall apart.
These peanut butter cookie cups are incredibly decadent and also easy to make.
Try these Caramel Peanut Butter Cookie Cups if you are looking for a simple recipe that is sure to impress your family and friends.

This is the most annoyed I have ever been baking cookies. The dough is too soft, rises too much and the end result is definitely NOT worth all the glitches on this website. I must have had to reload the page 10 times.
