Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups
Ingredients:
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
1 cup chocolate chips (divided)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a tin lightly with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and egg, and mix until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the cookie dough into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Press down lightly to create a flat surface. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- While the cookie cups cool, prepare the peanut butter filling by mixing the peanut butter and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookie cups have cooled slightly, gently press the centers with a spoon to create an indentation for the filling. Let cool completely.
- Fill each cookie cup with a generous dollop of the peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of the filling.
- For an optional touch, melt a few extra chocolate chips and drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
- Chill the cookie cups in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up, then serve and enjoy!
