These Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups are soft, chewy cookies baked in muffin tins and filled with creamy frosting. A fun twist on the classic cookie, perfect for parties or special treats!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 2 Tbsp milk (for frosting)
- Sprinkles, optional (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a mini muffin pan with baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
- Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a small cookie scoop, place dough into the prepared mini muffin pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and immediately use a tart shaper or the back of a spoon to gently press down the centers of each cookie to form a cup shape.
- Allow cookie cups to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat softened butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk, and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Pipe or spoon frosting into cooled cookie cups and top with sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Don’t overbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
- Use a tart shaper or similar tool to create the cup indent while the cookies are hot.
- Customize the frosting flavor or color for different occasions.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
