INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
• ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup mini chocolate chips
• Mini cupcake liners or silicone cups

DIRECTIONS

• Step No.1: Heat-treat the flour
  Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria. Let it cool.

• Step No.2: Cream butter and sugars
  In a bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer.

• Step No.3: Add wet ingredients
  Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth. This will give the dough the right texture and flavour for eating raw.

• Step No.4: Combine dry ingredients
  Add the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined and forms a soft dough.

• Step No.5: Fold in chocolate chips
  Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips until they’re evenly spread throughout the dough for consistent chocolatey bites.

• Step No.6: Scoop into cups
  Spoon the dough into mini cupcake liners or silicone cups, pressing down lightly to form the shape. Chill in the fridge until set.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Heat-Treat Flour Properly: Always heat-treat the flour to make it safe and avoid any risk of contamination.

• Use Room Temp Butter: Softened butter blends better with sugar for a smooth, creamy dough texture.

• Chill Before Serving: Chilling the cups helps the dough firm up and makes them easier to eat.

• Try Silicone Moulds: Silicone cups make it super easy to remove and serve the dough without sticking.

• Don’t Overmix: Mix ingredients just until combined for a soft, tender dough consistency.

• Add Mix-ins Last: Always fold in the chocolate chips or extras at the end to keep the texture even.

• Store Covered: Keep dough cups in an airtight container to stay fresh and moist for longer.

VARIATIONS

• peanut butter cups: Swap half the butter with peanut butter for a nutty, rich version of the cookie dough cups.

• Funfetti Style: Add rainbow sprinkles instead of chocolate chips for a birthday party-friendly cookie dough cup.

• Double Chocolate: Mix cocoa powder into the dough and use chocolate chunks for an extra chocolaty treat.

• Holiday Flair: Use red and green sprinkles for Christmas or heart candies for Valentine’s Day-themed cookie dough cups.

• Mini M&M Version: Replace chocolate chips with mini M&Ms for a colourful, crunchy twist that kids especially love.

• Caramel Drizzle: Add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top for a sweet, gooey finish before chilling.

• Oatmeal Cookie Cups: Stir in quick oats and a dash of cinnamon for a more classic oatmeal cookie dough flavour.
