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
- 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.
- Allow heat-treated flour to cool completely to room temperature, creating a safe base for raw cookie dough preparation.
- Prepare a muffin tin by lining each cavity with paper or silicone liners to create uniform and portable cookie dough cups.
- Cream together softened butter and sugars in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color, indicating proper aeration.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to enhance the overall flavor profile of the cookie dough.
- Gradually fold in the heat-treated flour, stirring gently to prevent overmixing and maintain a smooth, consistent texture.
- Add chocolate chips and fold delicately throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution of sweet morsels.
- Spoon the prepared cookie dough into the lined muffin tin, pressing gently to create compact, even layers in each cavity.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the filled cups, creating an elegant and decadent finishing touch.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough cups for at least 1 hour to set and develop a firm, sliceable consistency.
- 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.
