📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cookie cups:
2
Preheat oven to 325°F with a rack in the center of the oven. Grease a 12-cup standard size muffin pan.
3
Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
cornstarch1 tablespoon
4
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined (about a minute). Add egg and vanilla, beating until combined and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Beat in the flour mixture until fully combined. Add the chocolate chips, mixing until combined.

5
Scoop the dough into 3-tablespoon portions and form into balls. Place one ball in each muffin cup (don't flatten them; they'll spread and fill the cup while baking). Bake for ⏱️ 12-15 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown and the centers are still underdone. The cookie cups should be so soft that if you tried to lift them out of the muffin pan they would fall apart.
6
Place the muffin pan on a cooling rack and cool completely, they will firm up as they cool. Once cool, proceed with the frosting.

Frosting:
8
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth. Add half the powdered sugar and all the cocoa powder (omit cocoa powder if making vanilla frosting). Beat in vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk followed by remaining powdered sugar. Add as much more milk as you need to get your desired consistency (if you're making chocolate frosting you'll need a bit more milk than for vanilla frosting). Turn speed up to medium-high and beat for ⏱️ 30 seconds. Using a piping bag fitted with an open star tip to swirl frosting onto the top of each cookie cup. Top with chopped chocolate, if desired.
