Instructions
1
|
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 12 cup standard size muffin tin and set aside.
2
|
Cream the butter and sugar in a standing mixer (or in a bowl using a hand mixer) for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
3
|
Add the eggs one at a time and vanilla extract and mix for 1 minute.
4
|
Combine the all purpose flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and slowly incorporate into the butter and egg mixture.
5
|
Mix until combined then fold in the chocolate chips and stir.
6
|
Scoop the dough into heaping 2 tablespoon portions and form into balls. Place one ball into each muffin cup. Don't flatten as they will spread while they bake.
7
|
Bake for 13-14 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden. The center should still be SLIGHTLY under done. Remove from the oven and immediately use a small jar or container to press down on the muffins to form a well.
8
|
Run a sharp knife around the edges of the cookie cups (to help release later) and allow to cool completely in the pan.
9
|
Carefully remove cups from muffin tin. Scoop favorite ice cream into the cups, top with any desired toppings and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Butter for Deeper Flavor 🧈Melt your unsalted butter and cook it until the milk solids turn golden brown (2-3 minutes), then cool before mixing into dough for a rich, nutty complexity that elevates the entire cookie.
- Chill Dough Before Molding ❄️Refrigerate cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping and pressing into muffin tins; this prevents spreading and helps the cups maintain their shape while baking.
- Press Down at the Perfect Time ⏱️Wait exactly 2-3 minutes after removing cookies from the oven before pressing down the centers with a measuring cup or ball—too early and they'll be too soft, too late and they'll crack.
- Mix Brown and White Sugars Strategically 🍪Use slightly more brown sugar than white sugar for chewier, gooier cookie cups that hold their shape better in the muffin tin while staying moist inside.
- Toast the Chocolate Chips 🍫Lightly toast your semi-sweet chocolate chips in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes before folding into dough to intensify their chocolate flavor and prevent them from burning during the cup-forming process.
