These get rave reviews every time I make them. The mini-muffin pan is really useful for these.

"These cookies have a sweet peanut butter cup center."
INGREDIENTS:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
40 miniature chocolate covered
peanut butter cups, unwrapped
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.
3. Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk. Add the flour mixture; mix well.
4. Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool and carefully remove from pan.

**It really helps to put the pan in the fridge until completely cool before trying to remove these cookies.

Oh I also wanted to mention that I made these cookies as a gift with a cookie jar and a mini-muffin pan and the recipe for a "Naughty Santa/White Elephant" gift exchange party and it was the most fought over gift.
