I found this cookie recipe in First magazine many years ago. It is an excellent soft cookie. These large cookies are perfect for bake sales. If you make smaller cookies (1/8 cup dough per cookie), shorten baking time. This dough also makes an excellent plain cookie-without the peanut butter cup.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
32 peanut butter cups (reese's)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Combine flour, soda and salt.
3. In mixer, beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
4. Beat in vanilla and egg.
5. Stir in flour mixture.
6. Measure out 1/4 cups of dough and place on ungreased cookie sheet (4 cookies per sheet-these are big cookies) Cut each peanut butter cup into 4 pieces and push 8 pieces into top of each cookie, flattening the dough a bit.
7. Bake until cookies are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
8. (The centers will still be a bit pale and soft).
9. Let cookies cool for at least 1 minute on baking sheet before moving them to rack to cool.
