Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by crushing chocolate chip cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. Melt butter and mix it with the cookie crumbs until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of six silicone muffin molds.
  2. Place the molds in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the crusts to set.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil, then melt in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Carefully pour the chocolate mixture over the chilled cookie crusts.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually mix in heat-treated flour until achieving a cookie dough texture.
  5. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough mixture, mixing until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the cookie dough mixture over the set chocolate layer, spreading it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  7. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for garnish. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.
