  • In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

  • Scoop portions of dough into the mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and centers are just set.
  • Immediately after baking, use the back of a spoon or a small measuring spoon to press an indentation into the center of each cookie cup.
  • Allow cookie cups to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Avoid overbaking to keep the cookie cups soft and chewy.Chilling the dough for 20–30 minutes can help reduce spreading.Store-bought cookie dough can be used for convenience.Warm slightly before serving for an extra gooey Nutella center.Peanut butter or caramel also work well as alternative fillings.
