Instructions

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, add cold butter, sugar and brown sugar. Mix on high until no clumps of butter remain, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Then, add in egg and vanilla. Stir to combine.

Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Use an ice cream scooper or large spoon to scoop dough into sprayed muffin cavities. This should make 10 to 12 cookie cups.

Then, use your fingers to gently press dough down into muffin cavity and around the edges.

Bake for 14 to 17 minutes or until edges are golden. The middles will still be a little gooey.

Finally, remove from oven. Immediately use a jar lid or large spoon to press down in the middle. Allow cookie cups to cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes.

Lastly, gently remove and place on cooling rack. Top with desired toppings.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Your Butter Properly 🧈
Cut cold unsalted butter into small cubes and keep it in the freezer for 15 minutes before mixing to ensure chewy edges and prevent over-spreading during baking.
Brown Sugar Moisture Control 🍪
Pack your light brown sugar firmly when measuring to incorporate its natural moisture, which creates that signature gooey center texture in your cookie cups.
Mold Your Cups While Warm ⏱️
Remove cookies from the oven 1-2 minutes after they're set but still warm, then immediately drape them over an oven-safe bowl to shape perfect cups before they cool and harden.
Sea Salt for Enhanced Flavor 🧂
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cup before baking to enhance the chocolate flavor and create a sophisticated sweet-salty contrast that elevates the classic cookie taste.
Don't Overmix the Dough 🥣
Mix ingredients just until combined after adding flour and baking soda to avoid developing too much gluten, which keeps the cookies tender with soft middles rather than cake-like.
