Soft and chewy cookies stuffed with mini peanut butter cups for a decadent treat that’s a chocolate and peanut butter lover’s dream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 mini peanut butter cups (unwrapped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop 1.5 tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, and place a mini peanut butter cup in the center. Top with another tablespoon of dough and seal the edges around the candy.
- Place stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and centers are just set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill dough for 15–30 minutes if it’s too soft to work with.
- For extra peanut butter flavor, use peanut butter chips in addition to or instead of chocolate chips.
- Cookies can be frozen before or after baking.
