Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Be sure to sift it for a lighter texture.
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise perfectly.
  • ½ teaspoon salt A must for enhancing flavors!
Wet Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened Give it a little time to reach room temp for easier mixing.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar For that perfect sweetness.
  • ½ cup brown sugar This adds moisture and depth of flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A dash for that aromatic touch.
  • 1 large egg Provides structure to the dough.
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter The star of the show!
Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate, depending on your preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  4. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Add in the creamy peanut butter, mixing until the cookie dough is well blended.
  7. Grease a muffin tin or use cupcake liners for easier removal.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  2. Once out of the oven, immediately press a few chocolate chips into the center of each cookie cup.
  3. Allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To keep your cookie cups fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. Wrap each cookie cup in plastic wrap and freeze for longer storage, lasting up to a month.
