    a gluten free peanut butter cup cookie cut in half to show the reese's minature peanut butter cup inside.

    Ingredients

    • Unsalted Butter
    • Creamy Peanut Butter
    • Brown Sugar
    • Granulated Sugar
    • Egg
    • Milk
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Gluten Free Flour
    • Baking Soda
    • Sea Salt
    • Reese's Miniature Peanut Butter Cups

    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

    In the bowl of your stand mixer beat the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined and fluffy.

    Add the egg, milk and vanilla and beat just until they are combined into the mixture.

    Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined.

    Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough, roll into a ball. Place the cookie dough ball into the cups of a miniature muffin tin and repeat these steps for the rest of the cookie dough.

    Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until the edges are just starting to get golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately press Reese's miniature peanut butter cups in to the center of each cookie.

    Move the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an air tight container for up to a week.

    Hint: These cookies freeze really well in a freezer safe container or bag for up to a month. I love to double the batch and freeze half of the cookies for later.

    Supplies

    I get a lot of my ingredients from Thrive Market. Thrive Market has been a game changer for me eating gluten free. They have so many options I can’t get at my rural grocery stores! Use this link to get 25% off your first order!

    Storage

    After the cookies have cooled completely store them in an air tight container for up to a week.

    These cookies freeze really well too. Store cookies in a freezer safe container or bag for up to one month in the freezer.
