I made full-size brownies cups for ice cream a couple of months ago and yes, they were absolutely delicious but they were also a tad bit indulgent. I thought a smaller version might be a better option, especially around the holidays. I came across a recipe that filled their mini cookie cups with peanut butter cups and that is where these little guys were born. If you like chocolate and you like peanut butter and you like chocolate and peanut butter INSIDE chocolate and peanut butter, then this is the cookie for you. They are bite-size so go ahead and indulge!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Lightly spray 3 mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar at medium speed for between 3-5 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
With the mixer running, add the egg and mix until combined. Scrape the bowl and add the peanut butter and vanilla. Mix until combined.
Add the flour mixture all at once and mix until you see that last little bit of flour just disappear. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything is evenly combined.
With a #60 scoop (just over a tablespoon) portion the dough among 26 wells. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove the cookie cups from the oven and push a peanut butter cup into the center of each one. Transfer to the fridge to let them set up.
Bring to room temp before eating.

Sounds delicious!!! What do you mean by “...portion the dough among 6 wells.” ??? Is that like dropping them on a cookie sheet ?

  26 wells of 2 or 3 mini-muffin tins (depending on qty of muffins each tin contains.)

They are the center of the mini muffin tins, that is a well. The 6 you are asking about is 26, which is described in the instructions.
