1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 -
2 tablespoons milk

1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated

1/4 teaspoon salt
08 -
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Evenly spread all-purpose flour on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes to eliminate potential bacteria. Allow flour to cool completely before use.
02 -
In a large bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until mixture is light and smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
03 -
Mix in vanilla extract and milk until fully combined with the creamed mixture.
04 -
Fold in the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt. Stir until a homogeneous dough forms.
05 -
Gently fold chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution throughout.
06 -
Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup lightly. Press portions of the dough into each cup, shaping a hollow center with your thumb or a small spoon.
07 -
Refrigerate the shaped dough cups for 30 to 45 minutes until firm to the touch.
08 -
Fill each cookie dough cup with ice cream, whipped cream, or chocolate mousse as desired. Garnish with extra chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:

For a rich flavor variation, fold in a spoonful of peanut butter to the dough prior to shaping.
