Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 pieces Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into each cavity of the prepared mini muffin tin. Use your fingers or the back of a teaspoon to gently press the dough up the sides, forming small cups.
Bake the cookie cups in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and slightly firm. Remove from the oven and use the back of a small spoon or a shot glass to gently reshape the centers into cups while still warm. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookie cups cool, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the melted chocolate chips until the mixture is fully combined and silky.
Spoon or pipe the chocolate cream cheese filling into the cooled cookie cups.
Chill the filled cookie cups in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
