Recipe: Brownie Batter Cookie Dough Cups

Ingredients:

• For the Brownie Batter:
• • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• For the Cookie Dough Filling:
• • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons milk (if needed for consistency)
• For the Topping:
• • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for melting)
  • Sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional, for decoration)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Brownie Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until fully combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
2. Bake Brownie Batter: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill each liner about halfway with brownie batter. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft. Let them cool completely in the pan.
3. Make Cookie Dough Filling: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually incorporate the flour and salt until combined, then fold in the mini chocolate chips. If the mixture is too crumbly, add milk a little at a time until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
4. Fill Brownie Cups: Once the brownie cups have cooled, scoop a spoonful of the cookie dough filling into each cup, pressing down gently to fill the top.
5. Melt Chocolate for Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips until smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the cookie dough-filled brownie cups.
6. Chill and Serve: Place the cups in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy every bite of this indulgent treat!

These Brownie Batter Cookie Dough Cups are perfect for sharing—or not! They make for an impressive dessert that doesn’t require a ton of effort, yet delivers big on flavor. With every bite, you'll get the best of both worlds: the dense, chocolatey goodness of brownies and the smooth, nostalgic taste of cookie dough.
