Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups
Description
This recipe creates cookie cups by first mixing softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Eggs and vanilla extract are added before incorporating the flour mixed with baking soda and salt. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are folded in to ensure pockets of melted chocolate. The dough is scooped into muffin tins without flattening, allowing the cookies to spread naturally. After baking at 350°F for about 13-14 minutes until edges are golden and centers slightly underbaked, a small jar or container is pressed into each cookie to form a cup shape. A knife is run around edges to facilitate removal later, and the cups cool completely in the pan.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups provide a versatile base for fillings or can be enjoyed on their own. The crisp edges with that softer, slightly underbaked center and melted chips deliver a rich cookie experience in a convenient shape.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter unsalted, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large, room temperature
- 1 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/4 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 12 cup standard size muffin tin and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a standing mixer (or in a bowl using a hand mixer) for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time and vanilla extract and mix for 1 minute.
- Combine the all purpose flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and slowly incorporate into the butter and egg mixture.
- Mix until combined then fold in the chocolate chips and stir.
- Scoop the dough into heaping 2 tablespoon portions and form into balls. Place one ball into each muffin cup. Don't flatten as they will spread while they bake.
- Bake for 13-14 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden. The center should still be SLIGHTLY under done. Remove from the oven and immediately use a small jar or container to press down on the muffins to form a well.
- Run a sharp knife around the edges of the cookie cups (to help release later) and allow to cool completely in the pan.
- Carefully remove cups from muffin tin. Scoop favorite ice cream into the cups, top with any desired toppings and serve.
