Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray mini muffin pan with nonstick baking spray or use mini muffin liners or if you have a silicon mini muffin pan that makes it even easier.

Pour 1 cup of granulated sugar into a bowl for rolling the dough into.

Roll each cookie dough square into a ball. Then roll each dough ball into the granulated sugar to coat.

Place one dough ball into each mini muffin pan tin.

Bake for 10 minutes ( start watching them around the 5 minute mark because every oven is different and they might be done sooner than 10 minutes).

IMMEDIATELY press one mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Let cool for 15 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. I sometimes put the pan in the fridge for 10 minutes to speed up the “cooling process” and help the mini peanut butter cup from melting all over the cookie.
