Brownie-Batter Cookie Cups Recipe

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Mix flour and sugar together in a large bowl. Set aside.

Beat cream cheese and butter together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until combined. Stir into flour mixture until just combined. Press pastry dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup of an ungreased 24-cup mini muffin pan.

Heat milk chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and chocolate is only slightly lumpy 2 to 3 minutes. Cool slightly and stir in sugar egg and vanilla extract.

Spoon roughly 1 teaspoon batter into each pastry-lined muffin cup.

Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden and filling is slightly puffed about 20 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
