Melty Mint Sugar Cookie Cups

Melty Mint Sugar Cookie Cups 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 1½ cups granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2½ teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 2½ cups Bob's Red Mill all-purpose flour Melty Mint candies (not the petite size) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until mixed. Add vanilla and beat until mixed. In the same bowl, add the baking powder and salt and beat until mixed. Add the flour, a small amount at a time, and beat on medium speed until mixed well. Roll the dough into about 1-inch balls, then place each ball into an ungreased mini muffin tin/pan. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately press a melty mint candy into the center of each cup. Allow the cookie cups to cool 10 minutes in the pan and then remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
