These cups are not only delicious but also safe to eat, as they are made without raw eggs. Let’s dive into the details of creating this mouth-watering treat at home.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for melting)
• Optional: sprinkles, sea salt, or nuts for topping

Preparation:

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.

Step 2: Add the milk and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until smooth.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 4: Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 5: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Press about 1-2 tablespoons of the dough into each liner, creating a cup shape with a slight well in the center.

Step 6: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Spoon a small amount of the melted chocolate into the well of each cookie dough cup.

Step 7: Optional: Top with sprinkles, sea salt, or nuts for added texture and flavor.

Variation:

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also experiment with different mix-ins like white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or crushed candy for a unique twist.

Cooking Note:

To ensure the flour is safe to eat, you can heat-treat it by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes before using it in the recipe.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these delightful cookie dough cups chilled, directly from the fridge, for a refreshing and sweet treat. They also make great additions to dessert platters for parties and gatherings.

Tips:

• Store the cookie dough cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
• For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle additional melted chocolate over the top before chilling.
• If you prefer a firmer texture, freeze the cookie dough cups for about 15 minutes before serving.
