Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter Use unsalted butter for best flavor.
For the chocolate layer
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Melt for layering.
For the cookie dough filling
  • 1 cup heat-treated flour Ensure flour is heat-treated for safety.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup softened butter Use room temperature butter.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips For added texture.

Method
 

Preparation of Crust
  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 mixture firmly into the bottom of muffin liners placed in a muffin tin, creating an even layer.
Chocolate Layer
  1. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate over the crust layer, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Allow the chocolate layer to set completely, about 10-15 minutes.
Cookie Dough Filling
  1. In another bowl, combine the heat-treated flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dense dough forms; it should feel thick but easy to work with.
  2. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Assembly
  1. Once the chocolate layer has set, spoon the edible cookie dough onto the chocolate layer, smoothing it out to create an even top layer.
  2. Refrigerate the cups for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Store the finished cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
