- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into the muffin tin, pressing down gently to create a cup shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press a chocolate peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie cup.

Notes
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix the dough until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
- Cool Properly: Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the muffin tin to help them hold their shape.
