CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE CUPS



Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups image

This recipe came about as a total accident. When I was a teenager, I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies in mini muffin pans, but the centers sank in. In a pinch, I filled the centers with icing and voila! The cookie cup. My friends would beg me to make these every week.

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Dark chocolate chips are a great option for a richer flavor.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help them cream together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help the filling set properly.
