COOKIES in CUPS with CHOCOLATE, a clever, simple and playful idea for those who don’t feel like making cookie shapes, without eggs and without baking powder.
Today my daughter asked me “mom I want cookies… but not those boring ones!” 😅 and I improvised something truly brilliant: cookies in cups with chocolate… without cookies! Yes, you read that right. It’s a cookie-like dough transformed into an amazing cream to eat with a spoon, velvety and super indulgent: zero stress, zero fuss and a super creamy result.
These cookies in cups with chocolate are a game-changer for anyone who wants the taste of homemade cookies without rolling out dough. Here you toast the flour (a fundamental trick!), then blend everything with butter, sugar, cocoa, cream and chocolate chips… and you get an incredible, smooth, intense cream that tastes like cookies but as a dessert.
The brilliant thing? It’s a very quick dessert, without eggs and without leavening, perfect when you want something sweet right away without complications. And I’ll tell you: it’s even tastier than classic cookies because it stays creamy, enveloping and super indulgent.
Follow me in the kitchen — today it’s cookies in cups.

Stir in the chocolate chips and, if you prefer a softer cream, add more cream. Spoon into cups and store in the fridge.
