Soft Peanut Butter Cup Cookies Filled With Chocolate
Soft, chewy peanut butter cookies filled with a hidden peanut butter cup and topped with melty chocolate chips. A crowd-pleasing, easy-to-make indulgence!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 12 cups mini peanut butter
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients just until combined. If the dough feels sticky, chill for 15 minutes or add a little extra flour.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball, and flatten slightly. Place a mini peanut butter cup in the center and fold the dough around it.
- Place on the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and centers are soft. Let them finish setting as they cool.
- While still warm, press a few semisweet chocolate chips into the top of each cookie.
