1/2 c Peanut butter
1/4 c Vegetable oil
1 c Brown sugar
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 lg Egg
1 1/4 c All-purpose flour (or less)
2 ts Baking soda
24 sm Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cream together the peanut butter and vegetable oil in a bowl. Add brown sugar, vanilla, and egg. Beat well.
Add flour (reserve 1/4 – 1/2 cup) and baking soda. Blend thoroughly. Add enough extra flour so that you can shape dough into balls, slightly larger than 1-inch. Press a Peanut Butter Cup into each ball, covering the cup completely, and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Flatten with a fork, bake about 10 – 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
