Description
Delicious cookie cups filled with creamy peanut butter and topped with chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
- Add in the creamy peanut butter, mixing until the cookie dough is well blended.
- Grease a muffin tin or use cupcake liners for easier removal.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, immediately press a few chocolate chips into the center of each cookie cup.
- Allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Be sure to sift the flour for a lighter texture.
- The baking soda helps the cookies rise perfectly.
- The salt enhances the flavors!
- Let the unsalted butter reach room temperature for easier mixing.
- Brown sugar adds moisture and depth of flavor.
- Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips based on preference.
