Serves: 24 cookie cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookie cups will bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of Nutella, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and chocolate chips for topping.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, egg, baking powder, and salt. Use a spatula or a whisk to mix until the ingredients are well blended and smooth.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the Nutella mixture. Stir gently until the flour is fully incorporated and a thick dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with mini muffin liners. This will prevent the cookie cups from sticking.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion the dough into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This allows room for the cookies to rise while baking.
- Using your fingers or the back of a small spoon, gently press down the center of each dough portion to create a small well for the chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle a few chocolate chips into each well, adding as many as you like for extra chocolatey goodness.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the cookie cups from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. This will help them set before transferring.
- Carefully remove the cookie cups from the muffin tin and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. This will ensure they maintain their shape and texture.
- Once cooled, serve the Nutella cookie cups as a delightful dessert or snack. Enjoy their rich, chocolatey flavor!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough—this can make your cookie cups tough instead of tender.
- For extra richness, use high-quality Nutella and chocolate chips.
- Make sure to create a well in the center of each cookie cup to hold extra chocolate chips.
- Let the cookie cups cool completely in the tin to help them set and maintain their shape.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
- For a fun variation, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top or using different types of chocolate chips.
