Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Cream together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gently add in one egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
  4. Gradually sift in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing on low until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips evenly with a spatula.
  6. Scoop dough portions into each muffin liner, pressing gently to create shallow cups.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
  8. Create a well in the center of each cookie cup and fill with a spoonful of creamy peanut butter.
  9. Top with additional chocolate chips, allowing them to slightly melt.
  10. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
