Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 roll (16 ounces / 450 grams) refrigerated cookie dough
- 12 mini peanut butter cups
Filling Options:
- Chocolate squares
- Jam
- Caramel
Dough Flavor Variations:
- Chocolate chip
- Sugar
- Peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a mini muffin tin by lightly coating with cooking spray or inserting silicone liners.
- Divide the cookie dough into 12 uniform spheres, ensuring each ball is roughly the same size for consistent baking.
- Gently place each dough ball into a muffin cavity, using your fingertips to create a gentle depression in the center, forming a small cup-like shape.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, watching for a golden-brown edge that indicates perfect doneness.
- Once baked, immediately remove the tin from the oven and carefully insert a mini peanut butter cup into the center of each warm cookie cup, allowing the residual heat to slightly melt the chocolate.
- Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the tin for approximately 10 minutes, which helps them set and maintain their shape.
- Carefully transfer the cooled cookie cups to a wire cooling rack, ensuring they are fully set before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Customize the cookie dough by experimenting with different flavors like chocolate chip, sugar, or oatmeal for unique variations.
- Use silicone muffin molds for easier removal and less greasing, ensuring your cookie cups pop out perfectly without sticking.
- Chill the dough briefly before shaping to prevent spreading and maintain a more compact cup shape during baking.
- Substitute peanut butter cups with alternative fillings like caramel drops, fruit preserves, or chocolate truffles for dietary preferences or exciting flavor combinations.
