Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly spray 8 small, oven-safe cups with nonstick cooking spray. If using purchased cookie dough, remove the full tray and cut the dough into 8 equal pieces (about ¼ cup). If using homemade dough, measure 8 portions that are ¼ cup each. Break each portion of dough into 4 small pieces and place into the prepared baking cups. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of Sunday Night Chocolate Sauce in the center of each cup. Place the baking cups on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake 14 to 16 minutes, depending upon the depth of the cup (the deeper the cup, the longer it takes to bake). The cookie edges should be brown and set, but the chocolate sauce will look gooey and wet. Transfer to a wire rack; cool 10 minutes in the cups. Serve warm or at room temperature. Top each with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and remaining chocolate sauce.

Tips From Eileen

The sauce drizzles best when slightly warm. In a microwave-safe dish, heat sauce on high in the microwave about 20 seconds. Or remove the lid from the jar and place the jar in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds to warm.

To make ahead, cool baked cups completely. Before serving, reheat in a 350°F oven about 5 minutes or reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then top with ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Store cookies in their cups in a covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Or, freeze the cookies, tightly wrapped, for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.
