Time 1h25m

Yield 48 cookies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (17 1/2 ounce) package sugar cookie mix
1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped fine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease 12 cup mini-muffin tin. Combine cookie mix, pecans and flour in bowl. Slowly stir in butter until mixture resembles wet sand. Press 1 TBSP cookie mixture into bottom and sides of each muffin cup. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Cool 20 minutes in tin, then turn out cookies. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • With electric mixer on medium high speed, beat 1 cup cream to stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. In another bowl, beat peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Fold in whipped cream.
  • Microwave chocolate and remaining cream in a small bowl, stirring occasionally, until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour 1/2 tsp chocolate mixture into each cookie cup, then fill cups with 1 TBSP peanut butter mixture. Drizzle remaining chocolate evenly over cookies and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
