Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Cups:

  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 3/4 cup (180 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

2. Make the Cookie Dough:

  • In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.

3. Form the Cookie Cups:

  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into each cavity of the mini muffin tin. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press the dough down and create a shallow well in the center.

4. Bake:

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look soft. Remove from the oven and use a small spoon or the end of a wooden spoon to press the centers down again, forming a cup shape. Let the cookie cups cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

5. Make the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until smooth and creamy.

6. Fill the Cookie Cups:

  • Spoon or pipe the peanut butter filling into the cooled cookie cups.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Serve at room temperature or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • For extra indulgence, top the filling with a drizzle of melted chocolate or sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
  • Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture if desired.
  • These can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge before serving.
