Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, room temp)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 dark chocolate Bars (one chopped into the dough and one to use in the center of each cookie cup)
  • Optional: flaky salt (chocolate drizzle + ice cream for toppings)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare pan. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. Cream butter and sugars. In an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy (2-3 min), then mix in vanilla extract and egg.
  3. Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Mix dry into wet ingredients and add chocolate. Gradually mix into wet ingredients, until almost combined. Then fold in chopped Hu Hazelnut bar.
  5. Form cookie cups in muffin tin. Scoop about 2 tbsp of cookie dough into each muffin cavity and press to form a well.
  6. Add chocolate center and seal. Add a chocolate square in the center, then top with a small piece of dough and press to seal.
  7. Bake and cool. Bake 12-14 minutes, until tops are just set. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
  8. Serve. Serve warm-ice cream and flaky salt highly encouraged.

Notes

  • Customize the center. You can use any chocolate square, peanut butter cup, caramel candy, or even a spoonful of your homemade date or coconut caramel for the filling—get creative!
  • Let them cool in the pan. Giving the cookie cups 10 minutes to cool before removing helps them set and hold their shape—plus, the centers stay perfectly gooey.
  • Use a muffin scoop. Using a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop helps keep the portions even and makes shaping the dough into the muffin tin super quick.
