Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 75 g Brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 190 g All-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp Baking soda
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 24 pieces Peanut butter cups (miniature or chopped regular)
- 120 g Creamy peanut butter
- 100 g Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into each cup of the prepared mini muffin pan. Press the dough slightly to form a base.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookie cups are golden around the edges. Remove from the oven.
Immediately press one peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie cup while they are still warm, forming a tart-like shape. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
Spoon or pipe the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the top of each tart, filling the recessed area created by the candy.
Let the tarts set at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes until the topping has firmed up.
Serve and enjoy your Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Tarts!
