At first, I had my doubts, but these cupcakes turned out to be an absolute delight! They may look like regular cookies, but trust me, they are cupcakes in disguise.

Not only are these cupcakes a pleasant surprise, but they are also naturally gluten-free, making them a perfect treat for those with dietary restrictions.

Let's get started with a quick reminder of the ingredients you'll need:

Ingredients:

1. 3 egg whites
2. 20g cornstarch (maïzena)
3. 30g brown sugar
4. 100g dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease it lightly.

2. Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This might take a few minutes, so be patient.

3. Add the Maïzena: Gently fold in the cornstarch (maïzena) into the whipped egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; you want it to remain fluffy.

4. Sweeten it Up: Gradually add the brown sugar while continuing to fold the mixture gently. The brown sugar will add sweetness and a lovely caramel flavor.

5. Incorporate the Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chips. You want them evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Fill the Cupcake Liners: Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about three-quarters full. These cupcakes don't rise much, so don't worry about overfilling.

7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until the cupcakes are lightly golden on top and set in the center. They should have a soft and slightly chewy texture.

8. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  And there you have it – these surprising chocolate chip cookie cupcakes that will leave everyone in awe of your baking skills. They're perfect for any occasion or even just as a sweet treat whenever you're in the mood for a little bit of madness in your dessert repertoire. Enjoy!
