Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ cup assorted candy (e.g., M&M's, Reese’s Pieces, Skittles)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan:Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream Butter & Sugars:In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until fully combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Form Cookie Cups: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough into the mini muffin tin, pressing the dough down slightly to form small cups.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is slightly soft.
  • Add Candy: As soon as the cookie cups come out of the oven, gently press a piece of candy (M&M's or any preferred candy) into the center of each cup.
  • Cool & Serve: Allow the cookie cups to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Cookie dough can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Customizing the Flavor: Feel free to swap mini chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate chips. Add nuts like walnuts or almonds for crunch.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve these mini cookie cups at parties, holiday gatherings, or as a fun after-school snack. Pair with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream.
  • Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
