Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) mini chocolate chips
  • 8 oz (225g) milk, dark, or semi-sweet baking chocolate or chocolate melts

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients and equipment.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in mini chocolate chips gently.
  7. Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts or using a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  8. Coat the inside of each muffin tin cup with a layer of melted chocolate using a spoon or brush. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.
  9. Scoop about 1½ tablespoons (20g) of cookie dough into each chocolate-lined cup, pressing gently to fit.
  10. Top each dough-filled cup with another layer of melted chocolate to seal the dough inside and smooth the tops.
  11. Refrigerate the filled cups for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
  12. Gently pop the cups out of the tin and serve or store.

Notes

If chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut or vegetable oil to thin it for easier spreading. Keep dough chilled to handle easily. Use mini chocolate chips for best results. Seal cups well with chocolate to prevent leakage. For safety, heat-treat flour by baking at 350°F for 5 minutes if desired.
