Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookie cups
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 12 mini Reese's cups
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cookie cups bake evenly and come out perfectly cooked.
- Gather all your ingredients: one box of brownie mix, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 12 mini Reese's cups, and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Make sure everything is at room temperature for the best results.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until the batter is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently into the brownie batter. This will add extra chocolatey goodness to your cookie cups.
- Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with paper liners to prevent sticking. Each cup should be well-coated.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup about halfway with the brownie batter. This will allow room for the mini Reese's cups to be added later.
- Place one mini Reese's cup in the center of each muffin cup, pressing it gently into the batter. The batter will rise around the cup as it bakes.
- Once all the cups are filled, bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cookie cups to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This will help them set and make them easier to remove.
- Carefully transfer the cookie cups to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help maintain their texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Once cooled, you can serve the Reese's Cup Brownie Cookie Cups as they are or drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra touch. Enjoy your delicious treats!
