Delightful Chocolate Brownie Cookie Dough Cups featuring a rich brownie base topped with sweet cookie dough, perfect for indulgence and nostalgia.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips for the brownie base
- 1/2 cup butter, softened for cookie dough
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for cookie dough
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed for cookie dough
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for cookie dough
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips for cookie dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners. Divide the brownie batter evenly among the cups, filling them about halfway.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for the cookie dough until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour and mix until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Once the brownie bases have cooled, scoop a generous amount of cookie dough on top of each brownie base, shaping it into a little mound.
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
Notes
For ultra-fudgy brownies, be careful not to overbake them! n To save time, prepare the brownie base and cookie dough simultaneously. n Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough evenly.
