Ingredients
1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (270 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional Add-ins:
Mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies (for topping)
Caramel or ganache (for filling)
Sprinkles or frosting (for decoration)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Add Wet Ingredients:
Mix in eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Add Chocolate Chips:
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
Shape the Cups:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup. Press dough slightly up the sides to form a cup shape.
Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
Form the Centers:
Immediately press the center of each cookie with a spoon to create a defined cup shape.
Cool:
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Fill & Decorate:
Add caramel, ganache, frosting, or toppings as desired before serving.
Notes
For edible/no-bake dough cups, omit eggs and heat-treat flour at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
Do not overbake to keep centers soft and chewy.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze unfilled cups for longer storage.
Press centers immediately after baking while still soft for best shape.
