Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Like that raw food thing was going to last . . .

I'm making these for my last graduate workshop of the semester -- can't make them for the kiddies because of the evil, dreaded peanut butter, but I figure adults can handle it.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 12oz. package small peanut butter cups, coarsely chopped

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Whisk flour, baking soda and salt
3. Beat butter and sugar together. When creamy, add egg and vanilla and mix to combine.
4. Gradually add in the flour mixture, beating until just incorporated.
5. Fold in chopped peanut butter cups.
6. Drop by tablespoon about 2" apart on a lined baking sheet
7. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes.
