What is even better than cute dishware?
Cute dishware you can eat!
Say hello to a brand new line of chocolate-chip cookie dough dishware, hot from the oven and coming soon to Pier One stores everywhere! And then quickly say goodbye. They won’t last long.
Above, topped with my homemade “Rated R” Ice Cream.
The best part is when you finish all of the ice cream and realize there is still a big, fat, soft, gooey chocolate-chip cookie waiting to be devoured!
Like any self-respecting cookie lover, I fell in love with the concept of chocolate chip cookie cups the second I first saw it on Pinterest. The idea was to take any cookie dough and bake it on the bottoms of muffin tins, like so:
Unfortunately for me, with the particular cookie dough I used, this was a massive fail.
My chocolate-chip cookie bowls—based on this eggless cookie dough recipe—stuck to the greased tins, spread over the sides, and crumbled completely when I tried to remove them. But I wasn’t giving up…What does an independent girl in her mid-twenties do when disaster strikes in the kitchen?
She calls her mother, of course!
Mothers always know best:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bowls
(makes 17-19)
- 2 cans white beans or garbanzos (drained and rinsed) (500g total, once drained)
- 1 cup quick oats (85g)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (60g)
- 3 tbsp oil (canola, veg, or coconut) (30g)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract (8g)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar (For a sugar-free version, use this recipe.) (315g)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (160g)
- macaroni, beans, or rice to fill bowls (this won’t be eaten)
Preheat oven to 350 F and grease muffin tins. Blend all ingredients (except the chips) very well in a high-quality food processor (not a blender). Mix in chips, scoop into the individual muffin tins, and use a spoon or knife to make a well in the middle and spread up the sides like a bowl. (See above photos.) Pour uncooked noodles or beans or rice into each well, then bake 18-19 minutes. Set aside and do not attempt to go around the sides with a knife and then remove from the tins for at least 10 minutes, as the cookie bowls continue to cook and firm up as they cool.
(Some readers have had success with a blender, but I did not. Try that at your own risk, and know the results will be better in a high-quality food processor such as a Cuisinart. Alternatively, you can probably use any cookie-dough recipe with this “macaroni” idea. Just adjust baking time accordingly.)

Do you ever ask your mom for cooking advice?
When I was younger, I often relied on the cooking wisdom of my mother and both of my grandmothers. However, their wealth of knowledge in traditional baking proved less and less useful as I began experimenting more with alternative ingredients and cooking methods. Now, instead of them teaching me, I teach them. Thanks to me, my grandmother can now make a mean peanut butter cookie—with no eggs or butter whatsoever!
I love this idea! And yes, I can see the header! I love the new blog design, it’s so much more clean and professional-looking than the old one, but still charming and chocolate-y 🙂
Love the idea! And I only can see a white header – not the new one. Love what I can see, though!
These look absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to try them! And the header looks completely white on my computer…
I absolutely used to ask my mom for help with cooking and baking! As I grew older and more comfortable in the kitchen, that’s become less and less. There are still some favorite recipes that although I know how to make them, they taste better when my mom makes them!
HI Katie! YUM, as usual!! Glad you showed a pinterest fail with the upside down cupcake tin “cookie bowls”…I saw on “Pinstrosity” that those didn’t work…but you are a much more reliable source! Can’t wait to try these little cookie bowls- my son loves to help me in the kitchen… by the way- my header is COMPLETELY WHITE!!! Hope this helps!
I’ve wanted these since seeing pinterest! Thank you!
I tend to be a better cook/baker than my mom. (She tells her friends she will make cookies, has me make them, then tells her friends that she made them and had me help a bit) Then again, I am the one with the cookie business! Every once in a while I have to ask my mom about something. Because sometimes, mothers really do know best.
Oh, and I couldn’t see the header before, but I can now.
Hey Katie! I’m trying out veganism and am very new to it. I was a vegetarian for a bit, but I am having a hard time getting a balanced diet while eating vegan. I am enjoying how I feel, and don’t want to sacrifice essential parts of my diet for something I feel strongly about and enjoy. What does a typical day of food look like for you? Would you mind doing a post about your daily eats and what a day of food looks like for you-meals, snacks, and all? You seem to have it very well balanced and I admire that! Thanks so much!
I don’t really have a typical day in terms of eating the same things. It always varies :). But I usually eat pre-workout breakfast, regular breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, and taste-testing thoughout the day.
But aren’t you chocolate covered? #confuses
I can see the header, it looks great. I don’t really ask my mom for cooking advice, but I did ask her for some of my favourite recipes that I want to try veganize. So far I’ve tried corn bread and pancakes and they’re great.
Thanks for this amazing recipe & great tips! I tried the upside-down muffin tin thing before and all the cookie dough slid off of the tins and I ended up with a complete disaster. I’m definitely going to try this sometime soon…
I, unfortunately, cannot see the blog’s header. I have internet explorer, and it appears completely white.
I like the new blog header
All of your food looks sooooo delicious! I LOVE this blog!
These look amazing. I found your site via Pinterest and am now a follower! Your recipes all look so good!
Looks great. Does not seem all that difficult to make either. Might try and make them this weekend.
I cannot wait to try this recipe! I have made the bowls before using the special Wilton bowl pan. I wasn’t impressed with using the pan so I returned it and use a basic muffin pan flipped over. But, sometimes the dough spreads more than I want it to. Can’t wait to try your method with the pasta filled inside (as well as the cookie recipe). My son loves all of your recipes so far!…And yes, I can see the blog header. Love it!
I’m another who can only see a blank header (I’m using Chrome on a MacBook Pro, if that information affects anything).
This recipe looks great! Do you think it would work with the baking beans that are used to bake blind pastry cases?
Sorry, I really have no idea.
Don’t worry about it 🙂
Once I’ve got the ingredients together, I’ll have an experiment with my baking beans and see how it works out. I imagine it should be ok because this is a similar principle to baking blind and, having had a google just now, it seems that people sometimes use pasta or rice when baking pastry shells blind.
PS I can see the header today 😀
PPS both of the anonymous comments above are me; I forgot to write in my name. Doh.
Can’t see the header, but the recipe just hit my to-be-tried-soon list!
