Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cookie dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure it is at room temperature.
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
For coating
  • 1 cup milk chocolate or dark chocolate For coating, melted.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  2. Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Molding and Filling
  1. Melt the milk or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
  2. Using a silicone muffin pan, coat the inside with a layer of melted chocolate, creating a shell.
  3. Remove the chilled dough from the fridge, and take about 1 tablespoon of dough to form a ball. Place it in the center of each chocolate shell.
  4. Coat the tops with more melted chocolate, sealing the dough inside.
Setting
  1. Place the muffin pan back in the fridge for a couple of hours until the chocolate is fully set.
  2. Pop the cups out of the mold and enjoy!
