*To heat-treat flour, spread it on a baking tray and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 5 minutes. This kills any potential bacteria, making it safe to eat raw.

You can use a mix of milk, dark, or white chocolate for the cups.

For a peanut butter twist, add a spoonful of peanut butter to the cookie dough filling.
