My peanut butter cookie just got turned inside out and filled with chocolate!

Peanut Butter Cookie Cups are so easy to make and even easier to eat!

I love this recipe so much and if you have a mini muffin pan you already are half way there!

If you love peanut butter cookies you will love this new spin on the classic.
Slightly crispy outside with a softer chewy middle and filled to the brim with ganache!

You will notice the recipe makes close to 4dz cookies

While this may seem like a lot and you may be tempted to halve the recipe but I urge you to make the entire recipe!
These little bites start disappearing almost immediately

Easily freeze the baked and filled cookies

Or just bake the excess dough into classic peanut butter cookies
By sprinkling the tops with granulated sugar before baking and give them the old fork indent!

Ingredients

6 Tbs Vegan Butter (85g)
¾ cup Creamy Peanut Butter (180g)
1¼ cup Light Brown Sugar packed (255g)
6 Tbs Plant Milk (90ml)
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (10ml)
2 teaspoon Egg Replacer *see notes
2 cup All Purpose Flour (250g)
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
¼ teaspoon Salt

For the Filling

½ Recipe Vegan Ganache

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ & lightly spray a mini muffin tin with pan release
Cream the vegan butter, peanut butter & brown sugar until well blended, no need for light & fluffy here~ about 1 minute on high speed.
Add the vanilla extract to the plant milk & then add it slowly to the creaming mixture scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl often for an even mix. Then whip on high for 5 minutes to emulsify the mixture
Sift the flour, egg replacer, baking soda & salt then add it to the creaming mixture while blending on low until all incorporated.
With a #100 Scoop drop rounded scoops into each cavity.
Press the dough with your fingers so it spreads to the sides of each cavity
Bake for 12 minutes or when they are light golden brown
Allow to cool in the tins slightly then unmold onto a cooling rack, flip them over then press them slightly to make a bigger indent to fit more chocolate in the centers!
Once the cookies are cooled~ fill the sunken centers with vegan ganache & sprinkle with chopped peanuts

Notes

Any egg replacer of your choice will work great here~ I use Bob's Red Mill & I add it to the dry I do no reconstitute it. I have used Aquafaba in place of bot the dry egg replacer & the plant milk

Storage Cookies will stay fresh at room temperature for up to 2 days, because of the ganache filling it is wise to refrigerate them after day 3 & up to 1 week
Alternatively using straight chocolate vs ganache will give these cookies a longer shelf life at room temperature up to 2 weeks
