These cookie cups are perfect for holding creamy fillings like frosting, ice cream, or whipped cream, making them a versatile dessert option for holiday gatherings or any festive occasion.

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Unsalted butter 1 cup (2 sticks)
Granulated sugar 3/4 cup
Brown sugar 3/4 cup
Vanilla extract 1 tablespoon
Eggs 2 large
All-purpose flour 2 1/4 cups
Baking soda 1 teaspoon
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
Semi-sweet chocolate chips 2 cups

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookie cups bake evenly.
  2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Grease a standard muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line it with cupcake liners. This will help prevent the cookie cups from sticking.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This guarantees that the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Form the Cookie Cups: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, scoop a generous tablespoon of dough and place it into each muffin tin cup. Gently press the dough down and up the sides to create a slight cup shape.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
  9. Cool and Remove: Allow the cookie cups to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen them. Carefully remove the cookie cups and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Fill and Serve: Once the cookie cups are cool, fill them with your choice of frosting, whipped cream, or any filling you prefer. Enjoy your Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups as a festive treat!

Additional butter (for greasing) As needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners for easy removal.
  2. Prepare Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract into the mixture, stirring until smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until all ingredients are fully combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion the dough into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the middle of each dough ball.
  5. Bake the Cookie Cups: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add Mint Filling: While the cookie cups are cooling, melt the mint chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Once the cookie cups have cooled slightly, spoon a small amount of the melted mint chocolate into the center of each cookie cup, filling the indentation.
  7. Set and Drizzle: Allow the filling to set slightly for about 5-10 minutes. Drizzle any remaining melted chocolate over the tops for an elegant finishing touch.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the Mint Chocolate Cookie Cups cool completely before removing them from the muffin tin. Enjoy these delightful treats as part of your holiday celebrations or any time you’re in the mood for mint and chocolate!

This sweet treat is not only delicious but also makes for an enticing dessert that is destined to please family and friends during the holiday season or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Unsalted butter 1/2 cup (1 stick)
Granulated sugar 1/2 cup
Brown sugar 1/2 cup
Large egg 1
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
All-purpose flour 1 cup
Old-fashioned oats 1 cup
Baking soda 1/2 teaspoon
Salt 1/4 teaspoon
Raisins 1 cup
Milk 2 cups
Instant vanilla pudding mix 1 pack (3.4 oz)
Additional butter (for greasing) As needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Next, prepare a standard muffin tin by greasing it lightly with butter or by using non-stick spray to prevent the cookie cups from sticking.
  2. Prepare Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the oatmeal cookie dough into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Gently press each dough scoop down to form a small cup shape in the center. This will create a space for the filling once they are baked.
  5. Bake the Cookie Cups: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly underbaked; this will guarantee a chewy texture. Allow the cookie cups to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare Vanilla Pudding Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
  7. Fill Cookie Cups: Once the cookie cups are completely cooled, carefully spoon the prepared vanilla pudding filling into each cookie cup, filling them generously.
  8. Chill and Serve: Place the filled cookie cups in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set further. Once chilled, serve the oatmeal raisin cookie cups with vanilla pudding and enjoy!
