How could you possibly resist these?!
So, here's the recipe:
Peanut Butter Hide-Aways
1/2 cup softened margarine
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 and 1/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Peanut butter cups (my package had 27 - and that's exactly how many cookies I made -- the recipe says it makes 3 and a half dozen -- I never get as many as the recipes say, though!)
So...Cream together the margerine, peanut butter and both sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy -- beat in the egg.
Combine next 4 ingredients in a small bowl, then add to margarine mixture. Mix til just moistened and all the dry ingredients are blended in. Roll into small balls, using about a tablespoon for each. Place the balls into an ungreased mini-muffin pan. Like I said, my recipe made 27 cookies, but you'd get more if you made them a little smaller...
Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes, until light golden and puffy. Remove from oven.
Press the peanut butter cups down into the hot cookies (still in pan!), loosen the edges slightly with a sharp knife, and cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes (if you can stand to wait that long!) Then remove from the pan and ENJOY!!!
Be sure to eat one (or more!) while they're still warm, the peanut butter cups are gooey and delicious!!
We used to make these at Camp Joy in NY -- so, they always remind me of all those cuties we worked with there...and the place where me and my hubs fell in love. He's gonna fall in love with me all over again when he comes home from work today and sees these little goodies on the counter!!
