Ingredients

• 1 cup Butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for fudge filling)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini paper liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.

Step 5

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place each ball into the prepared mini muffin cups. Do not flatten the dough balls.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.

Step 7

As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, use the back of a measuring spoon to create a well in the center of each cookie cup. Set aside to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

For the fudge filling, melt the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and nuts, if desired.

Step 9

Spoon the warm fudge mixture into the wells of each cookie cup, filling to the top.

Step 10

Let the fudge puddles set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your rich, chocolate-filled fudge puddles!
