I’m so excited to share this Reese’s Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup recipe with you! It is seriously ooey-gooey, over the top, chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top of this deliciously decadent warm cookie in a cup, and you have the most amazing dessert ever made in the microwave.
I adapted this recipe from my original Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Cup , and kicked it up a notch by stuffing it with one of my all-time favorites, a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. I also added a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which pairs perfectly with this warm, chocolaty cookie in a cup.
I used a ramekin for these photos, but this dessert can be made in any microwave safe mug or small bowl.

- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 firmly packed rounded tablespoon of dark brown sugar
- splash of vanilla extract
- small pinch of kosher salt
- 1 egg yolk do not use the egg white
- Scant 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour scant means slightly less than full
- 2 heaping tablespoons of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 full-sized Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
-
Start by melting your butter in the microwave. Butter should just be melted, not boiling.
-
Add sugars, vanilla and salt. Stir to combine.
-
Separate your egg and add the yolk only to your cup. Stir to combine.
-
Add flour, then stir again. Measure a scant, slightly less than full, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
-
Add the chocolate chips, and give a final stir. Now your mixture will look like cookie dough.
-
Add Reese's peanut butter cup and press down into dough. Smooth cookie dough over peanut butter cup so it is completely covered.
-
Cook in microwave 40-60 seconds, start checking for doneness at 40 seconds. Mine takes 50 seconds.
-
Do not cook past one minute, just like a regular cookie, this will continue cooking as it cools.
-
If the cookie is dry or cake like, try less time.
-
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
If you don’t want to use the microwave, try my very popular oven baked single serving chocolate chip cookies.
