Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
In a stand mixer, beat the peanut butter and butter until well blended. 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup salted butter
Beat in the sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Then beat in the egg and the vanilla. 1 cup packed dark brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 large egg, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add in the flour and mix just until combined. Stir in the peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips. 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 cups quartered miniature Reese's peanut butter cups, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Scoop a 1 1/2" cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls that are 1 1/2" thick (about 58 grams) onto parchment or silicone mat or parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
Press down lightly with a glass that has been dipped in sugar. These cookies will not spread much at all, so pressing them slightly gives them a nice shape.
Bake for 10 minutes. Do not overbake.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. Then move them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
If you'd like a chocolate drizzle on top, microwave the chocolate chips in a bowl for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate chips, then microwave again in 10 second increments, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is melted. 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over the baked cookies. Allow the chocolate drizzle to dry completely and then store the cookies in an airtight container.

Notes

Because the peanut butter and butter both have salt, there's no need for adding any extra. If you use unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
You can also mix the cookie dough in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer.
