Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin lightly with non-stick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and egg, and mix until fully combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.
5. Scoop the cookie dough into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Press down lightly to create a flat surface. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
6. While the cookie cups cool, prepare the peanut butter filling by mixing the peanut butter and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
7. Once the cookie cups have cooled slightly, gently press the centers with a spoon to create an indentation for the filling. Let cool completely.
8. Fill each cookie cup with a generous dollop of the peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of the filling.
9. For an optional touch, melt a few extra chocolate chips and drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
10. Chill the cookie cups in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up, then serve and enjoy!
