Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, brown sugar monkfruit if keto
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg

Ganache Filling

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, sugar-free if keto
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Combine the peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and egg until a smooth cookie dough batter forms.
  • Scoop the dough into a 24-count mini muffin tin (this is much easier with a silicone pan. If using a metal pan, grease the pan well and/or line it with mini muffin liners)
  • Lightly press an indention with a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon.
  • Bake the cookies 12-15 minutes until set. note: remember, the cookies will finish baking on the hot pan once you remove them from the oven. They are done when they have set and no longer have a shiny appearance in the center of the cookie
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 7-10 minutes, and then use the same 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon to gently make another indention in each cookie to create a perfect little well.
  • While the cookies are cooling completely, make the ganache.
  • Finely chop the chocolate chips and place in a heat proof bowl. Heat the heavy cream until it is piping hot and pour over the chocolate. Cover and allow the chocolate to sit 2 minutes.
  • Stir the chocolate until a smooth, creamy ganache forms.
  • Once the cookies have cooled completely, Add the ganache to each cookie cup and top with sea salt if desired.
  • Keep the cookies stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
