How to make chocolate peanut butter cookie cups
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and greasing a standard muffin tin with butter.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee, salt, and baking soda. Set this mixture aside until ready to use.
In another bowl, mix the butter with both sugars until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well incorporated. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture and chocolate chips into the butter mixture.
Using an ice cream scoop, divide the cookie dough evenly between the 12 muffin cups. Bake for 12-13 minutes. While the cookie cups are still warm, use a small jar to press down the center of each cookie to create a well.
Allow the cookie cups to cool in the muffin tins for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Next, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and peanut butter, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Transfer the peanut butter filling into a piping bag fitted with a 1M star tip, and pipe the filling into the chocolate cookie cups.
Refrigerate the filled cookie cups for at least 1 hour before serving. Optionally, decorate with grated chocolate before serving, if desired.
