Description

Crunchy dark chocolate cookies shaped like a mini cup and filled with a fudgy dark chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Cups

Filling

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup sunbutter


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Place a miniature silicone muffin pan on a metal baking sheet.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cookie cup ingredients.  This includes the tigernut flour, tapioca starch, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda and salt.
  3. Mix in the wet ingredients: shortening, water and vanilla.  Combine first with a fork or spatula, then use your hands to knead the dough until it is well combined.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into balls.  (Each ball of dough should be about 1 Tbsp.) Place the balls of dough in the miniature silicone muffin pan.
  5. Use your fingers to shape the dough into cups.
  6. Place the cookies in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 14-15 minutes.
  7. After baking, remove the cookie cups from the oven and use a small circular object to press down the center of each cup. I used the end of a large cookie scoop to do this.  Keep the cookie cups in the mini muffin pan.
  8. Melt the dark chocolate for the filling, then mix in the sunbutter.
  9. Fill each cookie cup to the top with the fudge mixture.
  10. Place them in the fridge for at least an hour for the filling to set.
