1 cup packed brown sugar

1 ½ cups white sugar, divided

2 large eggs

¼ cup milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 bags mini peanut butter cups

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheets.

Cream together shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup white sugar in a large bowl until smooth.

Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in milk and vanilla.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into peanut butter mixture until well blended.

Shape spoonfuls of dough into balls and roll in remaining 1/2 cup white sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately press a peanut butter cup into each cookie.

Allow to cool completely; the chocolate will harden as it cools.
