Description
There’s something magical about cookie dough molded into little cups—like tiny bowls of joy just waiting to be filled. We used to make these for birthdays, but now they’re our go-to when we want a treat that’s playful, delicious, and just a little extra. Fill them with whipped cream, yogurt, or ice cream—they’re always a hit.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
Mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop dough into muffin cups, pressing up the sides to form “cups.”
Bake for 10–12 minutes. If centers puff up, gently press them down with a spoon after baking.
Let cool completely, then fill as desired (ice cream, mousse, fruit, etc.).
Notes
Crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, and ready for whatever sweet filling you love—these cookie cups are joy in every bite.
