Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly or use silicone muffin cups for easy removal.

      Make the Cookie Dough:

        In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture turns light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and the egg, beating until fully incorporated.

          Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:

            Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just incorporated. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can result in a denser cookie cup.

              Shape the Cookie Cups:

                Take about 1-2 tablespoons of the cookie dough and scoop it into each muffin cup. Using your fingers, press the dough firmly down and up the sides of the mold to form a cup shape. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges appear firm while the centers remain slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool completely in the pan to ensure their shape holds before carefully removing them.

                  Prepare the Mocha Yogurt Filling:

                    In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, instant coffee granules, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if preferred.

                      Fill the Cookie Cups:

                        Once the cookie cups have cooled, fill each cup generously with the mocha yogurt filling. For a neat appearance, use a spoon or a piping bag to fill them.

                          Chill:

                            Place the filled cookie cups in the freezer for about 1 hour to allow the filling to set slightly, giving them the perfect texture for serving.

                              Serve with Garnish:

                                Just before serving, top each cookie cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Finish with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder to enhance their visual appeal.

                                  Enjoy:

                                    Serve these delightful frozen treats immediately, making them an ideal indulgence on a warm day or as a unique dessert for any occasion!
