Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease or line a muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, cornflour, and salt. In another bowl, cream unsalted butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in a room-temperature egg and vanilla extract, blending until combined. Fold in dry ingredients and milk chocolate chips.
  3. Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough into each muffin tin cup, pressing gently to form a small cup shape.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft. Cool briefly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, butter, and water over medium heat. Stir until dissolved and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Whisk in double cream and Yorkshire sea salt, letting bubble for a minute, then remove from heat.
  6. Spoon the creamy caramel into the center of each cookie cup without overfilling.
  7. Melt milk chocolate and pour over the caramel layer in each cookie cup. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
  8. Allow cookie cups to set for about 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting.
  9. Once set, serve your Sea Salted Millionaire’s Cookie Cups and enjoy!
