- 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.
