Milk and Cookie Cups Ingredients

Almond Flour: High in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, making these cookies gluten-free and nutritious.

Dark Chocolate: A source of antioxidants and flavonoids, giving these treats a rich and indulgent flavor.

Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm, aromatic flavor.

Almond Butter: Provides protein, fiber, and a creamy texture.

Coconut Sugar: A lower-glycemic sweetener alternative.

Milk: Adds calcium and vitamin D (use almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free options).

Popover Mold: This is the mold I use. It creates the perfect sized cup!

Tips For Making Perfect Milk and Cookie Cups

Choose the Right Mold: A popover mold is ideal for creating deep and sturdy cookie cups.

Refrigerate Between Steps: Chilling the cups helps maintain their shape and allows the chocolate to harden properly.

Experiment with Fillings: Besides milk, try hot chocolate, coffee, or even a milkshake for a fun twist.

Seal with Chocolate: The chocolate lining prevents the milk from soaking through the cookie, so be thorough when spreading.

Decorate for Fun: Add sprinkles or drizzle extra chocolate on the rims for a festive touch.

FAQs

Q: Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
A: This recipe is designed for almond flour, but you can substitute with all-purpose flour if you don’t need it to be gluten-free. Adjust the liquid quantities as almond flour is more absorbent.

Q: How do I prevent the cookie cups from breaking?
A: Be gentle when shaping and removing the cookie cups from the mold. Cooling them completely before handling helps maintain their structure.

Q: What type of chocolate should I use for the lining?
A: Use a good-quality dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa for a rich and smooth coating.

Ingredients

Gluten-Free Cookie Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup almond butter
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp dark chocolate chips

Other ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Mold

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease your popover mold to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

  • In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, almond butter, coconut sugar, egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, coconut flour, baking powder, and dark chocolate chips. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3: Shape the Cookie Cups

  • Divide the dough evenly into 8 portions (about 2 tablespoons each). Use a spoon to press the dough along the sides of the cups to create a hollow center.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

  • Bake the cookie cups for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, use a spoon to gently reshape the hollow if needed. Let them cool completely in the refrigerator.

Step 5: Melt & Line with Chocolate

  • Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Add about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate to each cooled cookie cup and use a spoon to coat the interior and rim. Refrigerate to set the chocolate.

Step 6: Fill & Serve

  • Pour your favorite milk into each cookie cup and enjoy this fun and delicious dessert!
