Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one by one, ensuring they're well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this dry mixture into the creamed mixture until fully combined.

- Scoop a portion of dough into your palm and flatten it slightly. Place a mini peanut butter cup in the center and wrap the dough around it until it's completely covered.
- Arrange the cookies on ungreased baking sheets, giving them space to spread.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
