🥘Ingredients

For the Cookie Cups

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the cups release easily after baking.
3In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4Set this dry mixture aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.
5In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
6Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
7Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
8Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
9Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
10Scoop about 1.
5 tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup, pressing the dough up the sides to form a cup shape with a slight indentation in the center.
11The dough should be about 1/4 inch thick on the bottom and sides.
12Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
13The cups will look slightly underdone in the middle, which is perfect for a chewy texture.
14Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cookie cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
15Then, use a small spoon or your fingers to gently press down the center of each cup to create a deeper well for filling.
16Transfer the cookie cups to a wire rack to cool completely.
17Once cool, they are ready to be filled with your favorite toppings or enjoyed as is.

These chocolate chip cookie cups are a versatile dessert that works for any occasion, from a casual weeknight treat to a festive holiday party. They are easy to make ahead, and you can fill them with whatever you have on hand, so they are perfect for last-minute gatherings.

I always keep a batch in the freezer for when unexpected guests drop by, and they are always a hit. For storage, keep unfilled cups in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze them for up to three months.

To reheat, pop them in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes to bring back that fresh-baked taste. Serve them warm with a scoop of ice cream, or fill them with chocolate mousse and fresh berries for a fancy dessert.

No matter how you serve them, these cookie cups are sure to be a family favorite.
