# Ingredients:

→ Dough Base

01 - 240 g creamy peanut butter
02 - 113 g unsalted butter, softened
03 - 150 g packed brown sugar
04 - 50 g granulated sugar
05 - 1 large egg
06 - 5 ml vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

09 - 1.25 ml salt

→ Add-ins

10 - 130 g semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone or paper liners.
02 - In a large bowl, beat together peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
03 - Add egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until just combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
05 - Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until barely combined.
06 - Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
07 - Scoop dough into prepared muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
08 - Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top of each portion. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until tops are golden and centers remain slightly soft.
09 - Allow cookie cups to cool in the pan for 5–7 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure butter is softened to achieve smooth creaming and avoid overbaking for a chewy texture.
