Ingredients
Cookie:
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg, room temp
1/8 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
36 mini peanut butter cups, unwrapped
Ganache Drizzle:
4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate bar, chopped
1/4 cup milk, heated
Topping:
1/3 cup peanut butter chips, crushed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375° F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan. This recipe makes 36 cookie cups.
Unwrap peanut butter cups and place them in a bowl. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
In another medium bowl, beat butter, sugars, and peanut butter together until smooth. Add egg, milk, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture, 1 cup at a time, until fully combined.
Using an extra-small cookie scoop, scoop 36 balls and roll them until round. Place cookie balls into the muffin pan. Put the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Remove cookies from the oven and immediately press a peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie.
Let the cookies cool while you prepare the ganache and crush the peanut butter chips. Pour heated milk over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth. Place the ganache in a piping bag.
In a blender, crush the peanut butter chips. This step is optional.
Remove cookies from the pan and place them on a cooling rack. Drizzle ganache over the cooled cookie cups and sprinkle with crushed peanut butter chips. Enjoy!
