Scale
- For the cookie cups:
- 275g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 115g unsalted butter
- 135g light brown soft sugar
- 55g granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g milk chocolate chips
- For the caramel:
- 60g unsalted butter
- 140g granulated sugar
- 80ml double cream
- 3 tbsp water
- 2 tsp Yorkshire sea salt
- For the topping:
- 130g milk chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, bicarbonate of soda, cornflour, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough into muffin tin cavities and press gently to form cup shapes. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden. Use the back of a spoon to press centers down to create wells. Cool completely.
- For the caramel, combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook without stirring until sugar dissolves and turns golden. Stir in butter, then carefully whisk in cream. Add sea salt and stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Spoon caramel into cooled cookie cups and refrigerate until set.
- Melt milk chocolate and spread over the tops of each cup. Sprinkle with extra sea salt if desired.
- Chill until chocolate sets before serving.
Notes
- Press down cookie cups while still warm to create deeper wells.
- Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
- Caramel thickens as it cools, so work quickly when filling cups.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
