Salted Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

I saw this recipe on the Brown Eyed Baker website and thought idea was wonderful. I swapped out the cookie dough recipe for my own because it's one I really like, and then enjoyed the magic created when sweet, salty, peanut butter, and chocolate come together in one luxurious bite!

There are so many things to love about these cookies...

And I hope you try making them yourself!

• 1 tsp fleur de sel for sprinkling

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Cream together the butter, peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Add baking soda to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and peanut butter cups. Drop by large spoonfuls onto parchment covered pans, or roll in plastic wrap and chill until ready to bake. If doing this, cut into 1 inch cookies. Sprinkle with the salt and bake 10 minutes or until the edges are nicely browned.
