Delightful cookie cups with a rich fudge filling made from chocolate and mascarpone, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup Heath toffee bits or chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl as needed.
  2. Add the egg: Crack in the large egg and beat until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Mix in the peanut butter and vanilla: Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract and beat until the dough is uniform and soft.
  4. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour.
  5. Prepare to bake: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease mini muffin pans.
  6. Form the cookie cups: Scoop and roll the chilled dough into small balls, press an indent in the center with your thumb to create a cup shape.
  7. Bake the cookie cups: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 14 to 15 minutes.
  8. Cool and reshape: Let the cookie cups cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Make the fudge filling: Melt the chopped chocolate with the oil until smooth, cool slightly, then fold in the mascarpone cheese.
  10. Fill and finish: Spoon or pipe the fudge filling into each cooled cookie cup and sprinkle with optional toppings.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential for creating defined cookie cups. Store filled cookie cups at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
