Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsps milk (or more as needed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until fluffy. Mix in vanilla and milk, then fold heat-treated flour and salt into the batter. Incorporate mini chocolate chips evenly and refrigerate to solidify the dough.
- Create Chocolate Shells: Melt chocolate in short microwave intervals, stirring to maintain smoothness. Line mini muffin tin with paper liners and brush interior thoroughly with melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Freeze chocolate shells until completely hardened.
- Assemble Dough Cups: Form compact cookie dough balls sized to fit inside chocolate shells. Gently place each dough sphere into its chocolate vessel and coat completely with additional melted chocolate, creating a sealed top. Freeze cups until fully set.
- Serve and Present: Remove paper liners carefully to unveil chocolate-encased cookie dough cups. Plate directly from refrigerator or allow brief room temperature rest before indulging.
Notes
- Flour Safety First: Heat-treat flour in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring a safe, edible raw dough experience.
- Chocolate Coating Technique: Temper chocolate slowly and stir consistently to prevent burning, creating a glossy, smooth shell that adds professional-quality texture and shine.
- Chill for Perfect Texture: Refrigerate dough and completed cups to maintain firm consistency and enhance flavor melding, allowing ingredients to settle and develop rich taste profiles.
- Customization Possibilities: Swap chocolate chips for nuts, dried fruits, or alternative mix-ins to personalize the recipe and accommodate different dietary preferences or allergies.
