Brownie Batter Cookie Cups Recipes

BROWNIE-BATTER COOKIE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix flour and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Beat cream cheese and butter together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until combined. Stir into flour mixture until just combined. Press pastry dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup of an ungreased 24-cup mini muffin pan.
• Heat milk chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and chocolate is only slightly lumpy, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool slightly and stir in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
• Spoon roughly 1 teaspoon batter into each pastry-lined muffin cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden and filling is slightly puffed, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

BROWNIE BATTER

Steps:

• Using a microwave, melt the chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30 seconds increments, stirring after each increment, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.
• Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Sift into a medium bowl, then whisk in the cocoa powder, baking powder and salt (see Cook's Note).
• Add the sugar, butter and vanilla to the melted chocolate and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until smooth. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until well incorporated. Turn off the beaters and use your hands to help combine if needed.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
