Ingredients
For the crust

- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Enhances the chocolate's richness.
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter Will bind the crust ingredients.
For the chocolate layer
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Quality chocolate is key.
For the cookie dough topping
- 1 cup flour Heat treated if necessary.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (softened) Use softened butter for better mixing.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips For added sweetness and texture.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press this mixture into the bottom of muffin liners placed in a muffin tin, creating an even layer.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Once smooth, pour it over the crust layer, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Allow the chocolate layer to set before proceeding.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dense dough forms, then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Once the chocolate layer has fully set, spoon the edible cookie dough onto the chocolate layer, smoothing it out or creating a swirl.
- Refrigerate the cups for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious no-bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cups!
Notes
Ensure your graham cracker crust is pressed firmly for stability when serving. Use quality chocolate chips for enhanced flavor. The chocolate layer must be cooled completely before adding cookie dough. Store in the refrigerator until serving.
