Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Dough Filling:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Shell:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional, for a smoother texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough Filling:
    • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
    • Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, stirring until a dough forms.
    • Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Set aside.
  2. Make the Chocolate Shells:
    • Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
  3. Assemble the Cups:
    • Line a mini muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner and spread it slightly up the sides.
    • Chill the tin in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes to set.
    • Once set, scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and press it gently into each chocolate shell.
    • Cover the top of each cup with more melted chocolate to seal.
  4. Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until fully set.
    • Remove from the liners and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Heat-treat the flour: Spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to make it safe to eat raw.
  • You can substitute coconut oil with vegetable shortening or omit it entirely.
  • Use dark chocolate or white chocolate for a variation in flavor.
