Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter Make sure it's slightly cooled
For the chocolate layer
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Melt until smooth
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
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips For added texture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press this blend firmly into the bottom of muffin liners in a muffin tin to create the crust.
  3. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate over the crust layer, ensuring it’s evenly spread, and allow it to set at room temperature.
Cookie Dough Preparation
  1. In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar with the softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Mix until a dense dough forms that holds together well.
  3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Assembly
  1. Once the chocolate layer has set, spoon the cookie dough mixture generously over the chocolate layer, smoothing it out for an even top.
  2. Refrigerate the cups for a minimum of 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Ensure that your chocolate layer has completely set before adding the cookie dough to prevent them from mixing. Store the cookie dough cups in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh for up to a week.
