Description

These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cups are a no-bake dream come true! Made with creamy, safe-to-eat cookie dough tucked inside a rich chocolate shell, they’re the ultimate treat for cookie lovers of all ages. Perfect for parties, lunchbox surprises, or freezer stash indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep the pan: Line a mini muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
  2. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  3. Create the base: Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each liner and spread it up the sides. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
  4. Make the filling: In a bowl, cream butter with both sugars until smooth. Mix in vanilla and milk. Add heat-treated flour and salt, stirring to combine. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  5. Assemble: Roll small balls of dough and press them into the chocolate shells. Flatten gently to create an even surface.
  6. Top with chocolate: Spoon a thin layer of melted chocolate over the cookie dough to seal the cups. Smooth with a spoon.
  7. Chill: Return to freezer or fridge until the tops are set, about 15–20 minutes.
  8. Serve: Once firm, peel away liners and enjoy. Store extras in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

Heat-treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to kill bacteria. For added flavor, sprinkle sea salt on top or drizzle with white chocolate before chilling. Use dairy-free alternatives for a vegan version.
