  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 3/4 cup flour (heat treated and cooled)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups chocolate chips (divided: 3/4 cup and 1-1/4 cups)
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons coconut oil (divided: 1/2 teaspoon and 1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Heat Treat Flour: Heat treat the flour in the microwave or oven as per note 2 until it is light, white, and fluffy, then let it cool to room temperature to ensure safety and proper texture.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the butter and allow it to cool to room temperature so it doesn’t melt the sugar and cause graininess or greasiness in the dough.
  3. Mix Sugars and Butter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cooled melted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Add Flavorings and Liquids: Stir in salt, vanilla extract, and milk or cream until everything is well integrated.
  5. Add Flour and Chips: Incorporate the cooled heat-treated flour and mini chocolate chips into the wet ingredients and mix until the dough is combined and smooth.
  6. Chill Dough: Place the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up for easier handling.
  7. Form Dough Disks: Roll dough into approximately 36 small balls (about 1/2 tablespoon each), then slightly flatten each into thick disks. Select 24 disks for the recipe and set aside the rest for snacking or toppings.
  8. Prepare Muffin Pan: Line a miniature muffin pan with 24 cups ready to be filled.
  9. Melt First Chocolate Layer: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 3/4 cup chocolate chips with 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil until smooth, then spoon an even amount of this mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. Tap the pan gently to level the chocolate.
  10. Fill with Dough Disks: Place one cookie dough disk on top of the chocolate in each muffin cup.
  11. Melt Second Chocolate Layer: Melt the remaining 1-1/4 cups of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in the same bowl until smooth.
  12. Top with Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate evenly over each cookie dough cup to nearly fill the cups to the top. Tap the pan gently to smooth the chocolate layer.
  13. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the filled muffin pan for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
  14. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove the dough cups from the pan and enjoy your delicious chocolate-covered cookie dough treats.

Notes

  • Heat treating the flour is important to kill any potential bacteria since the dough is not baked.
  • If the flour is burnt or discolored after heating, do not use it.
  • The use of coconut oil in the melted chocolate helps achieve a smooth and glossy texture for coating.
  • You can enjoy the leftover dough disks as snacks or use them as toppings on ice cream or other desserts.
