Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 360 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 20 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 50 grams Mini chocolate chips
- 100 grams Milk chocolate (for melting)
- 50 grams White chocolate (for melting)
- 30 grams Mini marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently to evenly distribute them.
Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces (approximately 2 tablespoons each) and roll each piece into a ball.
Flatten each ball slightly and shape it into a small coffee cup by pinching the sides upward. Use your thumb to create a small depression in the center that will act as the 'cup'.
Place shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and immediately reshape the 'cups' if needed using the back of a spoon. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Melt the milk chocolate and white chocolate separately in microwave-safe bowls, stirring every 15-20 seconds until smooth.
Dip the top rim of each cookie cup into the melted milk chocolate to resemble a filled coffee cup. Use melted white chocolate to drizzle or create 'foam art' designs.
Attach a mini marshmallow to the side of each cookie using a small amount of melted milk chocolate to create a 'coffee cup handle'. Let the chocolate set completely before serving.
Serve your Coffee Cup Cookies as a fun dessert or snack, and enjoy them with a cup of real coffee!
