📋 Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

● 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

● ½ tsp baking soda

● ¼ tsp salt

● ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

● ½ cup brown sugar

● ¼ cup granulated sugar

● 1 tsp vanilla extract

● 1 egg

● ¾ cup chocolate chips (save ¼ cup for topping)

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

● ½ cup creamy peanut butter

● ¼ cup powdered sugar

📝 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prep – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

2️⃣ Make the Cookie Dough – In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Mix in vanilla extract and egg, then slowly add the dry ingredients. Stir in ¾ cup chocolate chips.

3️⃣ Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling – Mix peanut butter and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth.

4️⃣ Assemble the Cookie Cups – Scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into each muffin cup, pressing slightly to form a base. Add 1 teaspoon of peanut butter filling in the center, then top with another scoop of cookie dough, sealing the edges.

5️⃣ Bake to Perfection – Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and press extra chocolate chips on top while warm. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

6️⃣ Indulge & Enjoy – Serve warm for a gooey peanut butter center or let cool for a soft, chewy bite!

Pro tip: Dip cookie cup bottoms in melted chocolate then set in refrigerator for 10 minutes. (optional)

✨ Soft, gooey, and bursting with peanut butter & chocolate—these cookie cups are pure dessert perfection! 🍪🔥🥜
