Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cookie Dough:

    • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 egg
    • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (reserve 1/4 cup for topping)

    For the Peanut Butter Filling:

    1. 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
    2. 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.

  • Prepare the Cookie Dough:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips.
  • Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
    In a small bowl, mix peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.

  • Assemble the Cookie Cups:

    • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into each mini muffin cup.
    • Use your thumb or a spoon to press a small indent in the center of each dough ball.
    • Fill each indent with 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture.
    • Place a small piece of dough over the peanut butter filling or slightly pinch the edges to cover.
    • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
    Let the cookie cups cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.


Notes

  • You can use crunchy peanut butter for a little extra texture in the filling.
  • For best results, let the cookie cups cool completely before serving to ensure the peanut butter filling sets.
