Imagine whipping up some scrumptious Deep Dish Cookie Bowls! These treats are the ultimate dessert with their buttery, crispy edges and gooey, melty chocolate centers that are just slightly underdone. Best enjoyed warm, each bowl is topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for that perfect finish.
Here’s how you can make them:
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- Start by mixing the melted butter with the brown sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
- Gradually stir in the flour, salt, and baking soda until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the mixture between two 8-ounce ramekins, pressing gently to evenly fill the bottom of each. If you don’t have ramekins, you can use a muffin tin for mini bowls or small oven-safe bowls for a slightly larger version.
- Bake in the oven for:
- 18 minutes for a gooey, underbaked center
- 20 minutes for a semi-baked texture
- 22 minutes for a more set, almost fully baked dessert
- Allow the cookie bowls to cool for a few minutes to firm up slightly, but they are best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Alternative Baking Options:
- Muffin Tin: Bake for 8-10 minutes to yield 4 mini bowls.
- Small Oven-Safe Bowls: Bake for 14-18 minutes to make 2 cookie bowls.
- Cookie Sheet: Bake for 7-9 minutes if you prefer thinner, flatter cookies.
This easy dessert is perfect for a cozy night in or when you want something sweet and satisfying without too much fuss. Enjoy your delicious creation!
