1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt

12 mini Reese’s peanut butter cups (for stuffing!)

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Dough
In a bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Beat in egg and vanilla.
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt, then mix into wet ingredients.
Fold in Reese’s Pieces and chopped Reese’s cups.
3. Stuff with Reese’s Cups!
Scoop 2 tbsp dough, flatten slightly, and place a mini Reese’s cup in the center.
Wrap dough around it, sealing completely, then roll into a ball.
4. Bake to Perfection
Place dough balls on baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden (centers will look soft).
Optional: Press a few extra Reese’s Pieces on top right after baking.
5. Cool & Enjoy!
Let cool 5 minutes on the pan (the peanut butter cups will be molten!).
Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.
