Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your mini muffin pan by greasing lightly or using paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until fully combined.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Scoop the cookie dough into each muffin cup, pressing gently to create a base and a small well for the chocolate cups.
  7. Bake the muffin pan for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  8. Immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie after removing from the oven.
  9. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
