- Line your muffin tin with paper liners for easier removal and cleaner presentation of the cookie dough cups.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with almond flour or a certified gluten-free baking blend to accommodate dietary needs.
- Use high-quality chocolate for melting and filling to elevate the overall taste and create a more luxurious treat.
