Instructions

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring and scraping the pan every 10-15 seconds.

The butter will melt, foam, then turn golden brown with nutty aroma and small brown bits (about 5-7 minutes).

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a large bowl, mix the brown butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add the egg, extra yolk, and vanilla and mix well.

Fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined, do not overmix. The dough should be soft, not sticky. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Cover and chill for at least 1 hour (or overnight).

Let the dough sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes until scoopable. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175C).

Spread a layer of cookie dough evenly on the base of your glass cup.Add a spoonful of chocolate spread in the center, then cover it with another layer of cookie dough.

Top it with a few extra chocolate chunks for that perfect melty finish.

Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is still gooey. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - pure comfort in a cup.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Master the Brown Butter Stage 🧈
Cook butter over medium heat until it turns golden amber with a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes), then cool completely before mixing into dough to prevent melting the other ingredients and preserve that deep caramelized flavor.
Chill Dough for Crispy Edges 🧊
Refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes before pressing into mini pie tins; this prevents spreading and creates those signature crispy, defined edges while keeping the center molten.
Toast Your Chocolate Chips 🍫
Lightly toast your semi-sweet chocolate chips in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to dough to intensify their flavor and enhance the overall richness of the cookie pie.
Nail the Bake Time Precision ⏱️
Bake until edges are deep golden but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken (typically 11-13 minutes for minis); this ensures a crispy exterior with that essential gooey, underbaked center.
Bloom Your Salt for Extra Depth 🧂
Use Kosher salt as a finishing sprinkle on top of the batter before baking to create pockets of salinity that amplify the brown butter's nutty complexity and balance the sweetness.
