Happiness is these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups. I try to make cookies every Thursday. I did not now what I wanted to make yesterday except that I knew I was craving peanut butter. I looked in the pantry and found peanut butter, chocolate chips, Nutella, and cute little Valentine mini cupcake liners. I immediately knew that all of that would turn into something delicious. And, I was right. Pure happiness.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Place mini cupcake liners into a mini muffin tin.
- Cream butter and sugars.
- Mix in the peanut butter.
- Add the egg and vanilla, continuing to mix together.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture, until combined.
- Gently add in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, place a very small scoop of the cookie dough into each of the muffin tins.
- Add about 1 teaspoon Nutella to the top of each of the cookie dough scoops.
- Using a cookie scoop, place another scoop of the cookie dough onto the top of the Nutella, using your fingers to slightly seal around the edges. The dough will look like a little ball in the cupcake liners.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in the muffin tins for about 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack or platter.
Have a happy weekend!

Happiness is having a daughter that, among many things, is also a good cook. Thanks for sharing with us. The cookies were out of this world GOOD!!! Happiness is hearing my youngest grandduaghter say, “I want to be a mommy when I grow up!”
You are so sweet. Thank you! And, yes, hearing Summer say that she wants to be a Mommy when she grows up was incredibly heart-warming. What a sweetie!
I’ve just died and gone to peanut butter and chocolate heaven! My favourites! I want to thank you so much for linking up last week to my “Thriving on Thursdays” linky party. You always have such fantastic ideas. The party will be starting again in just over 12 hours so if you get a chance, I’d love to see what you’ve been up to this week.

I would like to try these with my gluten-free flour, but I don’t see a measurement for flour.
I am so sorry about that. Thank you for catching it. I just now updated the recipe. I used 1 1/4 cups flour. Enjoy!
