Ingredients

Scale

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients — fresh, good-quality butter and vanilla make a world of difference in flavor. I always reach for a good-quality chocolate chip; it’s worth it to splurge just a bit here. When I bake with my kids, I love using ingredients that feel wholesome yet indulgent, because that’s the balance that makes these cookie dough cups irresistible to both little taste testers and adults alike.

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety if serving raw)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 12–15 mini tart or cookie cups (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Begin by creaming the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy — this usually takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  2. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined, letting that warm aroma fill your kitchen.
  3. Slowly incorporate the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix to keep the dough tender.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently but thoroughly.
  5. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each mini tart or cookie cup with a generous scoop of the cookie dough filling. Press lightly to shape but keep the dough soft and pillowy.
  6. Refrigerate the cups for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to firm up slightly — this helps the cups hold their shape and makes them easier to enjoy.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top or drizzle with melted chocolate.
