Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Packed light brown sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin lightly with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until the dough is uniform and no streaks of flour remain.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal portions. Leave one portion plain and mix the cocoa powder into the other portion until completely incorporated.

Step 7

Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon each of plain dough and chocolate dough, rolling them together lightly to form one ball with a swirled pattern. Repeat for the remaining dough.

Step 8

Place each swirled dough ball into the prepared muffin tin cups, gently pressing each one to flatten slightly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly puffed but still soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookie cups from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the swirled cookie cups as-is or fill them with frosting, chocolate ganache, or ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy!
