Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter chips or chopped Reese’s minis
- ½ cup chocolate sauce or melted chocolate for drizzling
Directions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or nonstick spray.
2️⃣ Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3️⃣ Add Egg & Vanilla
Beat in egg and vanilla until fully incorporated.
4️⃣ Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry mixture to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
5️⃣ Add the Good Stuff
Stir in mini chocolate chips and Reese’s peanut butter chips or chopped mini candies.
6️⃣ Scoop & Bake
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup. Press gently to form a cookie cup shape.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.
7️⃣ Cool & Drizzle
Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Drizzle with chocolate sauce or melted chocolate. Let set before serving (if you can wait!).
Tips for Success
- Use a mini cookie scoop to get uniform, bakery-style cookie cups.
- Don’t overbake! These are best when soft in the center.
- If using Reese’s minis, freeze them first so they hold their shape while baking.
- Let the chocolate drizzle set fully before stacking or storing.
