Description
Delicious cookie cups filled with Nutella, perfect for a sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 6 Tbsp (75 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (196 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 6 Tbsp (65 g) mini chocolate chips
- About 1 heaping cup (300 g) Nutella, for filling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with baking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula just until combined. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Drop a rounded tablespoon of dough (about 40 grams) into each muffin cup. Gently press the dough down with the back of a spoon to flatten it slightly.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft.
- Immediately after removing the pan from the oven, use the back of a tablespoon or a small measuring spoon (like a 1/8 cup) to gently press down the center of each cookie cup, creating a well for the filling.
- Let the cookie cups cool completely in the muffin pan. This is crucial for them to set properly and release easily.
- Once completely cool, run a thin knife around the edges of each cup, give them a gentle twist to loosen, and lift them out of the pan.
- Spoon or pipe your desired amount of Nutella into the center of each cookie cup. Serve immediately or store as directed.
Notes
- Make sure the cookie cups cool completely in the muffin pan to retain their shape.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven for best results.
