Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. Prep & Preheat: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Step 2
2. Cream Base: In a large bowl, beat softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with a hand mixer for 2 minutes until fluffy.
Step 3
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in vanilla and egg until fully combined.
Step 4
4. Incorporate Dry: Fold in baking soda and flour just until no dry streaks remain (do not overmix).
Step 5
5. Shape Cups: Divide dough into 12 portions (about 2 tbsp each). Press each into muffin cups, forming a ¼-inch-thick wall and hollow center.
Step 6
6. Bake: Cook for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers appear slightly underdone.
Step 7
7. Finish: Immediately press the back of a teaspoon into the centers to reshape if needed. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Step 8
8. Optional Filling: While warm, add 4–5 chocolate chips to each cup’s center—they’ll melt into a pool.
