Peanut Butter Tassies

One of my favorite cookies and my mom's good friend surprised us with a batch!  I think my favorite part is the sweet, salty combination.  The peanut butter cups are just salty enough to offset the sweet cookie crust.  These are so much fun to make and eat.  They go fast since they are mini sized so don't even try to keep track of how many you've consumed.  These are fabulous served warm with ice cream, frozen with whipped cream, or at room temperature with a tall glass of milk.  I have eaten these every way possible...can you tell?!
