2 sticks butter (1 cup), room temperature

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups miniature dark chocolate peanut butter cups (or chop up regular-sized ones)

Coarse salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  (I used convection bake because I had more than one tray of cookies).  Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper (or lightly butter).

Place butter and both sugars in a food processor.  Cream together.  Mix in eggs and vanilla.  Transfer to a large bowl.

Mix together flour with baking soda.  Add to dough half at a time.  (Dough will be firm - I mix it with my hands).  Fold in peanut butter cups.  Place heaping teaspoons of dough on baking sheets, 1 1/2" apart.  Take each one and dip the tops in salt.  Bake about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.  Makes about 45.
