- ¼ cup White Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Whipped Peanut Butter Frosting
- ½ cup Butter room temperature

Chocolate Ganache
- 2 ounces Semisweet Chocolate Baking Squares chopped

Instructions
Peanut Butter Cookie Cups
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter, peanut butter, and both sugars. Mix in egg and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt to the mixing bowl and mix until combined.
- Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough evenly into each well of a mini muffin pan.
- Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides, then make an indentation in the center using a small lid, the back of a teaspoon, or the end of a wooden spoon handle. For the best shape, indent the cookie cups both before and after baking to help the centers stay defined.
- Bake the cookie cups for 11-14 minutes, until the edges are set. Carefully press the centers back down again while they're still warm.
Whipped Peanut Butter Frosting
- Add butter and peanut butter to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and whip for about 5 minutes, until it becomes very light tan and fluffy. It should lose its glossy shine and hold stiff peaks.
- Add powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Use an icing bag with a Wilton 2A circle tip to add frosting into each cookie cup.
Chocolate Ganache
- Heat heavy whipping cream in a small dish in the microwave until steaming, but not simmering. Add chocolate to the dish and stir until it melts.
- Drizzle chocolate ganache over each cookie cup, then let it set.
