Equipment

  • mini muffin pan
  • mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • tablespoon
  • Piping bag

Ingredients

For the cup

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

For the Filling

  • 2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese-drained
  • 12 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a mini muffin pan (if not using a silicone pan).
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla and continue to beat for an additional minute.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking soda together.
  • Add it to the butter mixture and mix until the flour has been fully incorporated in.
  • Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Scoop about a tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup and using the bottom of a small measuring spoon that’s been dipped in flour, press into the center of each cup to create a small well.
  • Place the pan into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies turn golden brown.
  • You may need to repeat the indent as they bake as the centers will rise in the oven.
  • Take the back of a teaspoon and press the center back down to create the indent.
  • Remove and allow to cool completely in the pan so they retain their shape.
  • Once cooled, turn out onto a cooling rack and repeat until all the dough has been used.
  • To make the filling, place the ricotta and mascarpone cheese in a large bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar and continue to beat until smooth.
  • Place into a piping bag with a tip of choice and pipe into the center of each cup to fill it.
  • Sprinkle the tops with the mini chocolate chips.
