This sweet treat is the best of both worlds. It’s a peanut butter cookie baked in a cupcake pan, and it’s topped with frosting- just like a cupcake. They’re cupcake-sized cookies with frosting on top! Yep, it’s cookie dough tucked into a cupcake wrapper, but frosted like a cupcake. Why not? This means, of course, that you get much more bang for your buck… a bunch more cookie all stuffed into a cupcake tin. This is good stuff!
How to make Peanut Butter Cookie Cupcakes:
The peanut butter cookie dough is spooned into cupcake pans. you can use cupcake wrappers or no wrappers. They are baked like cookies.
And this is what they look like coming out of the oven. They bake up just like peanut butter cookies. The cracks on the top… those are fine because you’re going to top them with peanut butter FROSTING!
A delicious peanut butter frosting is whipped up.
And you’ll frost the “cupcakes” with the peanut butter frosting.
The peanut buttery frosting is smoothed on top of each “cupcake.” Then you use a powdered sugared fork to criss-cross the top (gotta give it that peanut-butter-cookie look), just like you would do if you were making traditional peanut butter cookies.
Add in ideas:
Top them with chocolate frosting instead if you wish to create a fabulous combination! Mix in miniature chocolate chips!
And then they’re ready for eating! It’s important to note that they are DENSE. They are not fluffy like a cupcake because they are more like cookies than cupcakes. These are delicious, but you pretty much have to be a peanut butter lover to love these.
