Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup coffee-flavored frozen yogurt (or your favorite flavor)

Whipped cream (for garnish)

Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with non-stick cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk until there are no lumps, and set this mixture aside for later.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together. Continue to mix until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Add Egg and Vanilla: Once the butter mixture is fluffy, add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat again until fully incorporated and smooth.

          Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined; be cautious not to overmix to maintain a tender cookie texture.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, evenly distribute the cookie dough into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the centers appear soft. Remove from the oven and allow the cookie cups to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Create Wells: Once the cookie cups are completely cool, use the back of a small spoon or your finger to gently press down in the center of each cup, creating a small well for the frozen yogurt.

                    Fill with Frozen Yogurt: Generously spoon coffee-flavored frozen yogurt into each cookie cup, mounding it slightly above the edge for an appealing presentation.

                      Garnish: Add a delightful swirl of whipped cream on top of the frozen yogurt in each cup. For that extra touch, sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings over the whipped cream.

                        Freeze: Place your assembled cookie cups in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the frozen yogurt to firm up before serving.

                          Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the cookie cups from the freezer and allow them to sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Dig in and savor the deliciousness of your Frozen Yogurt Mocha Cookie Cups!
