Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart, and slightly press down each ball.
Baking

  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Optional Drizzle
