Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups.
Uh. Yeeeeeah.
These are like… of that caliber.
And that totally almost happened to me. You PROBably should not make these if you are home alone for four days. Word to the wise, FYI.
I ate what felt like a million, then had a plate of 5-day old green bean fries from the fridge and called it lunch. I do not recommend this. The leftover green bean fries – not the cookie dough cups.
I definitely recommend those.
For lunch.
Face? Meet peanut butter cookie dough cups.
Inhale.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups
[cookie dough adapted from cookie dough dip]
makes 24 cups
2 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
In a small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Whisk in brown sugar until dissolved, then let it bubble for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in peanut butter. The mixture will be liquidly. Whisk in vanilla. Let sit and cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Line a mini muffin with with liners. Melt 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips (I do mine in the microwave, heating on full power for 20 seconds, stir, 30 seconds again, and stir until melted). Drop 1/2-1 teaspoon of chocolate into each liner, then use a pastry brush to brush chocolate up the sides of the liner. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes. By this point the butter + sugar mix should be cool. Whisk in powdered sugar, salt and flour, until combine and few lumps remain. Fold in mini chocolate chips. The dough will be wet, but pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes to harden.
Remove muffin tin and cookie dough, then place 1 teaspoon of cookie dough (I somewhat rolled mine) into the chocolate cups. Place back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Melt the remaining chocolate chips, then cover each cookie dough top with chocolate, smoothing with a spoon. Freeze again for 15-20 minutes. These are fine out in room temperature for a few hours (they may soften a bit) but I like them best stored in the fridge.
Note: I’m sure if you temper your chocolate and let it sit at room temperature these will harden without the freezer, but this is what works for me best.
Sigh.

looks delicious :-)
Yum! That looks delicious, have never made cookies from scratch so look forward to giving it a try!
Very *very* good. I made these to take to a Fourth of July brunch and had to restrain myself from eating half of them before I went. I made a similar recipe a couple years ago that didn’t include peanut butter, but I very much like that addition.
these look amazing. Must try this week.
Hello my name is Elizabeth and I work for a small library in Wyoming. We are currently putting together a recipie book for our annual Death By Chocolate Fundraiser. We’re using the recipies from the event, but we need pictures for the dividers, and I just love the picture at the bottom of this post (your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups). If you would be interested in talking to me about what we could do to use your photo, please email me. Thank you for your time.

Looks so tasty. Thanks for posting.
Here you might think that why not you self pack your food for holidays, but such solution will not work in your favour as in what way you pack, its definite that eatables will get contact with air and might be to dust particles too which can destroy the nutrition and freshness level of food and here too you will have chance to get ill, so again is the only solution that is packed food.
Great !!!!!!

Help! Cooking rookie here…what does it mean to “fold in mini chocolate chips?”
Anything with peanut butter is an instant favorite of mine. I’m going to make these in bigger sizes so I can add more peanut butter into them this coming weekend. I’m sure that my kids will like them.
Insanely, addictively delicious. Used natural pb in these with outstanding results. Planning to incorporate pretzel pieces in the next batch for a wee bit of salty crunch.
When you let the butter and brown sugar bubble, were you continuing to whisk it? As if to brown the butter? Or should I just leave it alone and let it bubble?

These were really good! However, they tasted more peanut butter cookie doughthan just regular chocolate chip cookie dough, so in the end I thought they tasted just like a really good Reeses. Not complaining though :)

Would I be able to double this recipe safely? or do you think the extra time would cause some issues with chocolate solidifying or the brown sugar and butter settling? Thank you, these look divine! True heaven
do i have to use peanut butter?
i want it just to taste like chocolate chip cookie dough
Too much sugar in the cookie dough, maybe a bit less – it tastes a bit sugary. Other than that these are awesome!!
