Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Cups are easily made with only 5 ingredients! Peanut butter cookie cups are filled with creamy peanut butter and chocolate layers that are topped with granola for a little bit of a crunch!
116.5 oz package of refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
½cupwhite chocolate chips
¾cuppeanut butterdivided in half
½cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
½cupoats & honey granola
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a mini muffin pan with baking spray.
The cookie dough should be divided into 24 squares already, but if you are using a different type of dough (or you want to use homemade dough), you'll need to divide the dough into 24 pieces. Gently press each piece into a mini muffin cup, gently pressing the dough up the sides of the cup. Make sure you don't press the dough too thin -you don't want any holes!
Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are browned. Cool in the pans for about 5 minutes. The dough will have expanded a little bit, so you'll need to re-form your indentations a little bit. I used the back of a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon to gently press the indentations back down. Just be gentle so you don't destroy your cookie cups! Leave the cookie cups in the pan to keep cooling.
While the cookie cups are cooling, you can make the filling. Divide the peanut butter in half, placing each half in a microwaveable bowl. Add the vanilla chips to half the peanut butter and the semi-sweet chips to the other half.
Place the white chocolate/peanut butter bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds, remove and stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until completely smooth. Spoon the filling into each of the cookie cups, filling them about halfway.
Melt the semi-sweet chips/peanut butter mixture the same way and spoon it on top of the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle the granola on top. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Remove from muffin cups once set. You can leave these out at room temperature or keep them in the refrigerator if you want to keep them cold - we liked them room temperature better.
