Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for ganache)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a mini muffin pan with baking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter with granulated and brown sugars until creamy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  4. Stir in salt, baking soda, and flour until dough forms.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup and press down slightly.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately press a tart shaper or spoon into the center of each cookie to create a well.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. To make the ganache, heat heavy cream in the microwave until steaming, about 1 minute.
  11. Pour cream over 3/4 cup chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  12. Spoon ganache into the center of each cooled cookie cup.
  13. Let ganache set before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use a tart shaper or the back of a spoon to make wells in the cookie cups right after baking.
  • Let ganache set before stacking or storing.
  • Store cookie cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
