Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 13 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours

Yield: 24 cookie cups

Ingredients:

Cookie Cups

• 3/4 cup (170g) room-temperature softened unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch (cornflour)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 and 1/4 cup (225g) of chocolate chips, semi-sweet

Cookie Dough Frosting

• 3/4 cup (170g) room-temperature softened unsalted butter
• 1 cup + 1 Tablespoon (215g) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 and 1/4 cups (160g) heat-treated all-purpose flour* (spooned & levelled)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 Tablespoons (95ml) milk
• 1 & 1/2 cups (270g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two 12-count muffin pans with liners. Set aside.
2. Make the cookie cups: In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment to cream the butter and sugars until fluffy and light in color. Mix in the egg and vanilla, scraping down the sides as needed. Mix the flour, cornflour, baking soda, and salt in another basin. Slowly mix the wet ingredients on low speed. The dough will be thick when you add the chocolate chunks.
3. Fill each muffin liner with 1.5 teaspoons of dough. Bake for 12-13 minutes, removing from the oven when the edges are slightly brown and the centers appear soft. Do not exceed 13 minutes. Allow cookie cups to cool completely before frosting.
4. Make the frosting: Using an electric or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar at medium speed. Add vanilla and beat well. Stir in the flour and salt until doughy. Beat in the milk until fluffy. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Frost the cooled cookie cups.
5. Unfrosted cookie cups stay fresh and covered at room temperature for 5 days. Frosted cookie cups must be kept in the fridge.

Notes:

Heat-Treated Flour: While raw all-purpose flour is suitable for the cookie cups, it's safest to use heat-treated flour in the frosting. Refer to the note/instructions above the recipe or purchase it online.

3.The Cookie Dough Protein Shake

Liquid cookie dough is the only apt description for the flavor and consistency of this rich cookie dough protein shake. It's akin to sipping on cookie dough through a straw. Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of your preferred milk (240g)
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp baking soda (for enhanced flavor)
• slightly more than 1/4 cup of vanilla protein powder (24g)
• sweetener of your choice
• 6 drops of maple extract (optional for flavor)
• optional garnish of raw oats with chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Blend all the ingredients, excluding the garnishes, until the mixture is smooth.
2. Add garnishes as desired.
3. The thickness of the shake may vary based on the protein powder brand. For a thicker consistency, consider freezing 1 cup of milk in an ice cube tray beforehand and then using the frozen milk in the recipe. This not only adds thickness but also imparts a chilled, ice-cream-like quality to the protein shake.
