Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugars and peanut butter until creamy and well combined. Add milk and vanilla until blended. Add eggs and beat until combined. Beat in flour, salt, baking soda, and cornstarch just until blended. Fold in peanut butter morsels.
  3. Drop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Flatten with a fork. Chop each peanut butter cup into fourths and press into tops of cookies.
  4. Bake for 11 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and cool completely.
