preheat oven to 350 degrees.
cream the butter, sugar and peanut butter together.
add eggs, one at a time along with the vanilla
mix flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
combine flour mixture to wet ingredients in 2 or 3 additions.
spoon a tablespoon full of batter into each muffin cup.
bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. while baking, unwrap the required amount of peanut butter cups.
press a peanut butter cup into the centre of each cookie, while still in the pan, as soon as the cookies come out of the oven.
cool cookies in the pan for at least 20 minutes before attempting to remove them and then complete the cooling on a wire rack...the chocolate will eventually harden again.
