Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Cups

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Cups

Ingredients:

• 1 package refrigerated cookie dough (or homemade cookie dough)
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
2. Form Cookie Cups:
   • Take a small amount of cookie dough and press it into each muffin cup, forming a small bowl shape with the dough. The dough should cover the bottom and sides to create a cup.
3. Add Peanut Butter:
   • Place a teaspoon of creamy peanut butter into the center of each cookie dough cup.
4. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
   • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. If the centers have puffed up, you can gently press them down with the back of a spoon.
5. Prepare Chocolate Topping:
   • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
   • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for one minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
6. Top with Chocolate:
   • Spoon the melted chocolate over the peanut butter in each cookie cup.
7. Chill:
   • Refrigerate the cookie cups for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
8. Serve:
   • Once set, remove the cookie cups from the muffin tin and serve. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

These peanut butter chocolate cookie cups are a delightful treat that combines the richness of chocolate with the creamy, savory taste of peanut butter, all encased in a soft cookie crust. Enjoy baking and indulging in these sweet treats!
