Description
Delicious chocolate and peanut butter cookies filled with a rich fudge center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Cream butter, peanut butter and sugar.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix.
- Add in flour, baking soda, salt and mix until combined.
- Roll 1 Tbsp dough into ball (or use cookie scoop to do it faster and no need to roll) and place each scoop or ball in pan.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes (until lightly browned).
- Remove from oven and make wells in the center of each cookie using 1 tsp measuring spoon. Press it well to make place for a lot of fudge.
- Cool in pan for another 8-10 minutes and then remove the cookies to a wire racks.
- Cool for an additional 15 minutes.
- To make the chocolate filling, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes. Stir a bit until it’s evenly combined, then add vanilla and stir again.
- Transfer the filling into a ziplock bag, squeeze it into a corner and snip the corner off. Pipe the fudge into the cups and fill it well, the chocolate should go above the cookie – it will set really fast and not run out. (If chocolate filling becomes too solid, microwave it for 10-15 seconds).
- Warm about 1 Tbsp peanut butter and drizzle it over the chocolate cups also using a small ziplock bag.
Notes
- Make sure to let the cookies cool completely before filling them with fudge.
- If you prefer, you can use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
