Description
Delicious cookies filled with peanut butter cups and topped with chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter (slightly softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 & 3/4 cup flour
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (more for topping)
- 9 peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and both sugars together. I did so using my spatula.
- Add in the vanilla and egg and mix until everything is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add in the dry ingredients over the wet mixture, starting with the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough, split each ball in half, flatten it between the palm of your hand and place the peanut butter cup in the center. Top with the other half and seal the edges.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Don’t worry if they look underdone or gooey in the middle. That’s what we want; they will continue to bake even after you pull them out of the oven to cool.
- Top the cookies with extra chocolate chips as soon as they come out of the oven, cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- These cookies are best served warm with a glass of milk.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
