1/2cupBrown SugarPacked
1/2 cupGranulated Sugar
1largeEggBeaten
1tspVanilla
2tbspMilk
1/2cup ButterSoftened
1 3/4cupsAll Purpose Flour
1/2tspSalt

Instructions
Unwrap the mini peanut butter cups.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the egg, vanilla, and milk to the peanut butter mixture, and continue to mix for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Using a small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into 40 balls and place each one into the cavity of an ungreased mini muffin pan.
Bake for 8 minutes. The cookies should just start to brown and hold their shape on the edges. The centers may look slightly underdone.
Remove from the oven, and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball.
