Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Cups

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Start by creaming the softened butter and brown sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, salt, and heat-treated flour, stirring well to combine into a soft dough. Finally, fold in the mini chocolate chips and vanilla extract, mixing until evenly distributed.
  2. Melt the Chocolate for Cups: Gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips along with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring often for a smooth, glossy finish. This step ensures the chocolate cups harden perfectly around the cookie dough filling.
  3. Form the Chocolate Shells: Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each cavity of a mini muffin tin or silicone mold. Using the back of the spoon or a brush, evenly coat the sides and bottom of each cup. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the shells firmly.
  4. Fill with Cookie Dough: Once the shells have set, spoon the prepared cookie dough into each chocolate cup, gently pressing it down to fill the cavity but without overfilling.
  5. Seal the Cups with Chocolate: Top the cookie dough filling in each cup with more melted chocolate to seal everything in. Smooth the chocolate surface with the back of a spoon for an even finish. Chill again for at least 30 minutes until fully set.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Carefully pop the cookie dough cups out of the molds, and get ready to enjoy this sweet, gooey treat perfect for any occasion!

Notes

  • Heat-treat your flour: Gently warm all-purpose flour in the oven before using it raw to ensure safety.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for better texture and even distribution.
  • Ensure butter is softened but not melted for proper dough consistency.
  • Refrigerate cups before serving to set the chocolate and improve handling.
  • Work quickly with melted chocolate as it solidifies fast for the best results.
