These Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups are delicious fluffy puffy cookies baked in paper cases, and with peanut butter ganache too, who could resist such a sweet treat?

Ingredients:

FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH:
  • 150g unsalted butter
  • 150g light brown sugar
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, from the fridge
  • 280g plain (all-purpose) flour
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 150g chocolate chips, of your choice
  • peanut butter ganache (optional, see below)
FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER GANACHE:
  • 60g peanut butter, smooth
  • 60g white chocolate

Directions:

  1. First, make the peanut butter ganache (if using). Melt the peanut butter and white chocolate together in the microwave. Spread on a lined baking sheet and freeze for at least half an hour. Melt the butter in a bowl and set to one side.
  2. Preheat oven to Gas 4/180C. Line a 12 hole cupcake pan with paper cases. You can either bake these in 2 batches, or (like me) save some extra dough to make regular cookies (it freezes well).
  3. Blend the cooled, melted butter with the sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, egg and egg yolk. The mixture will turn very thick and creamy.
  4. Fold in the flour, cornflour (cornstarch), salt, bicarb (baking soda) and baking powder. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanut butter ganache (if using). The dough will be quite sticky (this is due to the extra egg yolk).
  5. Place around 2 tbsp of dough into each case and bake for around 10 minutes until they are golden on top. The cookie cups will sink slightly when they are cooling, don’t worry, this is normal!
  6. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, before removing to a wire rack.
