Mini Peanut Butter Cup Sandies

Now for a pretty good, cheap, but not so healthy recipe! I have had the itch to bake for the last few weeks, Father's Day finally gave me a good excuse to hop to it! Here is a link to the recipe I followed...

I made a few modifications. Most importantly, I used itty bitty mini peanut butter cups instead of crushing larger ones. These can be found at Trader Joe's.


Also, I used organic peanut butter. I have been into the Giant Eagle's Nature's Bin brand (crunchy) . Good consistency and flavor, no oily mess! In retrospect, I feel like good ole' Jif would have worked better for this recipe however.

I wasn't incredibly happy with the way the cookies turned out. I think it is because I am not crazy about the texture/ consistency of "peanut butter cookies". I think Grandma said it best when she told me "Once you add peanut butter, it becomes a peanut butter cookie". Matt seemed to be pretty into them, so I decided to post the recipe!
