Delight in these irresistible Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups, combining a rich chocolate ganache, creamy peanut butter filling, and a buttery cookie base for the perfect bite-sized treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 batch Kroll’s Kookies Cookie Dough

Ganache

  • 4 oz dark chocolate bar, chopped
  • 4 oz heavy cream

Peanut Butter Filling

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to ensure the cookie cups release easily after baking.
  2. Form Cookie Cups: Scoop the Kroll’s Kookies Cookie Dough into each cavity of the muffin tin, filling them halfway. Press down gently to flatten the surface evenly for a uniform cup shape.
  3. Bake the Cookie Cups: Bake the dough for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.
  4. Press the Centers: While still warm, gently press down the centers of each cookie cup to create a well for the filling without breaking the edges.
  5. Make the Ganache: Chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream until it reaches a simmer and immediately pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute, then whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  6. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, sifted powdered sugar, softened unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  7. Assemble the Cookie Cups: Fill each cooled cookie cup generously with the peanut butter mixture, then spoon a layer of chocolate ganache on top to finish the treat.
  8. Chill: Place the filled cookie cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer ganache flavor.
  • Ensure the cookie cups are cool before filling to prevent melting the peanut butter and ganache layers.
  • The mini muffin tin size is ideal for bite-sized treats, but you can use larger muffin tins and adjust baking times accordingly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To soften unsalted butter quickly, leave it at room temperature or microwave in short 5-second bursts.
