Description
Delicious and easy to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups filled with chocolate or hazelnut spread, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate spread or hazelnut spread (for filling)
- 1 Non-stick cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookie Cups: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into each cup of the prepared muffin tin. Use your fingers or a spoon to press the dough down and create a small well in the center for the filling.
- Fill and Top: Add about 1 tablespoon of chocolate or hazelnut spread into the center of each cookie cup. Use additional dough to cover the spread if desired.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookie cups to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smoother mixing.
- Don’t overmix the dough to keep the cookie cups tender.
- You can experiment with different fillings such as peanut butter or caramel for variety.
- For extra gooey centers, warm the cookie cups slightly before serving.
