Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line a muffin tin.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, cornflour, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter with both sugars until fluffy, then beat in egg and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and stir in chocolate chips.
  3. Scoop dough into the muffin tin, pressing down gently to form cup shapes.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around edges. Cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. In a saucepan, combine sugar, double cream, butter, and water. Stir continuously until the mixture is golden. Whisk in salt and cool slightly.
  6. Melt milk chocolate and pour it over the cooled caramel in the cookie cups.
  7. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate while it's still soft.
  8. Cool at room temperature or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Serve and enjoy your Sea Salted Millionaire’s Cookie Cups.
