How to Make Fudge Puddles

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter, 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Roll dough into 48 balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  7. Place each dough ball into a mini muffin cup.
  8. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately use a melon baller or small spoon to create a well in the center of each cookie.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  11. Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While cookies cool, prepare the chocolate filling: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir in 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  13. Once the cookies are completely cool, fill each cookie cup with the chocolate fudge.
  14. Top each fudge puddle with a pecan half.
  15. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the completed cookies for an extra touch of elegance.
