I was excited to see how much you all loved the Snickers Cookie Cups<\/a> recipe that I shared earlier this week. So, I got back into the kitchen to make these peanut butter cookie cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I looked online, I noticed that there are a lot of recipes that stuff a miniature Reese's cup inside a peanut butter cookie. They look delicious, but I wanted more contrast in flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I took a different route. I used a chocolate cookie instead and decided to ramp up the peanut butter flavor by adding toppings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toppings for your peanut butter cookie cups:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only do these cookies have more layers of flavors but they look prettier too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I piped a swirl of creamy Jif peanut butter over the Reese's Cup-stuffed cookies to enhance the peanut butter flavor. At first, I worried it would be too much peanut butter but found it to be perfection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I added some chopped peanuts for a little bit of crunch and some chocolate sauce because it looks pretty and tastes great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually drizzled homemade chocolate ganache<\/a> over my cookies. Ganache is a blend of heavy whipping cream and chocolate. I always keep jars of it in my fridge. I just warm it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds until it becomes pourable and enjoy it on desserts like these cookie cups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot fudge sauce or any chocolate ice cream topping will work well too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
