- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips
- 24 Reese's peanut butter cups
Preheat oven to 300°F.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix well with a whisk or fork and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat sugars and butter until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.
Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips. Mix on low just until combined. Do not overmix.
Add 1 tablespoon of dough to each cup in a muffin tin. Place one peanut butter cup in each muffin cup, pushing down cookie dough. Top each peanut butter cup with an additional tablespoon of dough.
Bake for 16-18 minutes. Let cool for 1-2 minutes in muffin tin, then gently run a butter knife along the edge of each cookie to loosen. Remove to cooling rack.
