Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
For the Filling
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup flour (heat treated if necessary) Make sure to heat treat the flour.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter in a medium-sized bowl until it resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture evenly into muffin liners placed in a muffin tin to form the crust.
  3. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate over the crust layer and spread it evenly with a spatula. Allow it to set completely.
Cookie Dough Layer
  1. In a separate bowl, combine heat-treated flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Mix until a dense dough forms, then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  3. Once the chocolate layer is set, spoon the cookie dough mixture over it and smooth it out evenly.
Chilling
  1. Refrigerate the muffin tin for at least 30 minutes, allowing the cups to chill and solidify before serving.

Notes

For best results, heat treat your flour by baking it at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes. Make sure to press the crust firmly for stability. Quality chocolate can significantly enhance the dessert's flavor.
