Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
Sweeteners:
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
Flavor Enhancers and Liquids:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (or more as needed)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Craft a velvety cookie dough base by whipping softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until airy and light. Incorporate vanilla and milk, creating a silky texture that blends seamlessly with heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt. Gently fold mini chocolate chips into the mixture, ensuring even distribution. Chill the dough in the refrigerator to firm up its consistency.
- Transform chocolate into delicate cups by melting it carefully in short microwave intervals, stirring to maintain a glossy smoothness. Arrange mini muffin liners and generously paint the interior with liquid chocolate, using a spoon or brush to create an even, thin coating that reaches all edges. Freeze the chocolate shells until they achieve a solid, crisp texture.
- Shape cookie dough into compact spheres that perfectly nestle inside the chocolate shells. Delicately place each dough ball into its chocolate vessel, then completely enrobe with additional melted chocolate, sealing the top with a smooth, elegant finish. Return the filled cups to the freezer, allowing them to set into a firm, unified treat.
- Carefully peel away paper liners to reveal the elegant chocolate-encased cookie dough cups. Serve directly from the refrigerator or allow a brief moment at room temperature for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Always heat-treat flour by microwaving or baking to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring safe consumption of raw dough.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor development and make it easier to handle and shape.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture, especially when combining butter and sugars.
- Choose high-quality chocolate with a good melting consistency for creating smooth, glossy chocolate shells that hold their shape perfectly.
