I’m always trying to make different desserts, to mix things up, i don’t like to just make the same things over and over again. I was trying to think how I could make a combination cookie and cupcake, so i thought why dont i make a cookie dough and pour it into cupcake liners, and lets see what happens. Turns out they were absolutely delightful, and a change of pace. I wanted to mix two of my favorite ingredients, chocolate and peanut butter, and it turned out to be a great combo, as usual. I was debating whether  or not to make a buttercream for them, but decided they were great on their one, but I may try making a peanut butter buttercream next time, just to see how it tastes. For some reason i didn’t take a lot of photos of these, but i will make them again and make sure to post more photos.

Here’s the recipe

1/2 cup of butter

1 large egg

3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup of peanut butter

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon Kahlua

1 1/2 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

pinch of salt

1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips

 

in a large bowl melt 1/2 cup of butter, let it sit for a min or so once its melted, so the egg doesn’t start to like cook

then add

1 large egg

3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup of peanut butter

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon kaluah or vanilla extract if you must

whisk all items until smooth

then add

1 1/2 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

pinch of salt

stir until well combined, don’t over mix, i think i did, but they turned out fine

then

stir in 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips, I suggest stirring in, i tried to use the mixer to incorporate them and it didn’t work that well

pour into cups, dont over fill, i did and it was almost a mess

bake 11-12 mins or until toothpick comes out clean, oven at 350

enjoy, and show me those photos!
