Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cookie Cupcakes
It was my friend Sarah’s birthday and I knew I wanted to create a brand new cupcake for her. My Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is one of her favorites and who can’t resist that winning combination? I decided to take those flavors and turn them into an over the top cupcake.
Peanut butter is already sweet and creamy but swirl in some cream cheese and it’s next level delicious. Add a dollop of dark chocolate buttercream and a Peanut Butter cookie and there’s just no turning back.
I took them to her party and they were such a hit, the cupcakes were gone in minutes. When it comes to peanut butter and chocolate you can never have too much, especially on your birthday!
