Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (350 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (45 g) mini chocolate chips

Sugar Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Flavor and Binding Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat flour to eliminate potential bacteria by spreading it evenly on a baking sheet and roasting at 350F (175C) for 5 minutes, ensuring uniform temperature distribution.
  2. Allow heat-treated flour to cool completely to room temperature, creating a safe base for raw cookie dough preparation.
  3. Prepare a muffin tin by lining each cavity with paper or silicone liners to create uniform and portable cookie dough cups.
  4. Cream together softened butter and sugars in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color, indicating proper aeration.
  5. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to enhance the overall flavor profile of the cookie dough.
  6. Gradually fold in the heat-treated flour, stirring gently to prevent overmixing and maintain a smooth, consistent texture.
  7. Add chocolate chips and fold delicately throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution of sweet morsels.
  8. Spoon the prepared cookie dough into the lined muffin tin, pressing gently to create compact, even layers in each cavity.
  9. Drizzle melted chocolate over the filled cups, creating an elegant and decadent finishing touch.
  10. Refrigerate the cookie dough cups for at least 1 hour to set and develop a firm, sliceable consistency.
  11. Remove from refrigerator, carefully extract from the muffin tin, and serve chilled for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Toast the flour beforehand to eliminate any potential bacteria, ensuring safe raw cookie dough consumption without compromising taste or texture.
  • Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize the flavor profile and match personal preferences.
  • Use a silicon mold or cupcake liners for easier removal and more uniform chocolate cups, creating a professional-looking homemade treat.
  • For gluten-free alternatives, substitute regular flour with almond or coconut flour, maintaining the same toasting process to guarantee food safety.
