# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
02 -
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
03 -
Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, mixing until fully combined.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated.
05 -
Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough to ensure even distribution.
06 -
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup. Press dough slightly up the sides to create a cup shape.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
08 -
Immediately upon removal from the oven, press the center of each cup gently with a spoon to reinforce the cup shape.
09 -
Allow cups to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10 -
Fill or adorn the cookie dough cups with desired toppings, fillings, or frosting before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For edible no-bake dough cups, omit eggs and heat-treat flour by baking it at 350°F for 5 minutes.
02 -
Store baked cups in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze unfilled cups for extended storage.
