Fallen Peanut Butter Brownie Cookie Cups

Makes 12 cookie cups

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces (113 grams) 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup (192 grams) creamy peanut butter, divided
  • 3 large eggs (150 grams), room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon (2 grams) vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (43 grams) Dutch process cocoa powder, sifted
  • Cookie Crust (recipe follows)
  • ½ cup (120 grams) whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • In the top of a double boiler, combine chocolate, butter, and ¼ cup (64 grams) peanut butter. Cook over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs with a mixer at medium speed. Add sugar and salt in a slow, steady stream, beating until pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Fold in chocolate mixture and vanilla until combined. Fold in cocoa.
  • Press 2 tablespoons (38 grams) Cookie Crust into bottoms and up sides of prepared muffin wells. Divide batter among prepared crusts (about 3 tablespoons or 50 grams each).
  • Bake until tops are dry and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack. (Centers will fall as they cool)
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat milk and remaining ½ cup (128 grams) peanut butter on high in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until peanut butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Drizzle glaze onto cooled cookie cups.
