Learn how to make delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate chips (for melting and coating the cups)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon milk or cream (to loosen the dough if needed)

If you prefer a gluten-free option, I’ve found that substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend works beautifully without compromising texture. For a dairy-free version, swap the butter with a plant-based spread and choose dairy-free chocolate chips — it’s a lovely way to make sure everyone at the table can enjoy these little treats.

Instructions

  1. Start by creaming your softened butter with both sugars in a large bowl. Use a wooden spoon or an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy — about 3 to 4 minutes. This step always reminds me of early mornings, when I’d sneak into mum’s kitchen and whisk eggs until the bowl felt like a cloud in my hands.
  2. Mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly, letting that warm aroma fill your kitchen.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then gradually fold these dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture. If the dough feels too stiff, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to soften it just enough to hold together.
  4. Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly, imagining the way each bite will have a little chocolate surprise.
  5. Next, prepare your moulds: melt the dark chocolate chips gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  6. Using a small spoon or pastry brush, coat the inside of each mould with a thin layer of melted chocolate. Pop them into the fridge for about 10 minutes to set.
  7. Once the chocolate shell is firm, fill each cup with a generous spoonful of cookie dough, pressing it gently to fill the space but leaving a small gap at the top.
  8. Seal the top with another thin layer of melted chocolate, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.
  9. Chill the cups in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until completely firm. This step always brings back memories of winter afternoons spent waiting for a stew to thicken, the kitchen warm and fragrant.
  10. Carefully remove the cups from the moulds and serve. You’ll notice how the crisp chocolate shell cracks just right against the soft, luscious dough inside.
