For the cookie butter filling:
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 g) cookie butter (such as Speculoos or Biscoff)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cookie layers:
- 1 cup (100 g) crushed speculoos or ginger snap cookies
For the whipped topping:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
For garnish (optional):
- Additional cookie crumbs
- Mini cookie pieces

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the cookie butter filling
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cookie butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture until fully combined. Refrigerate while preparing the other components.
Step 2: Make the whipped topping
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 3: Assemble the shooter cups
- Add a layer of crushed cookies to the bottom of each mini shooter cup.
- Pipe or spoon a layer of the cookie butter filling on top of the cookie crumbs.
- Repeat the layers (cookie crumbs, then filling) until the cup is almost full, ending with the filling on top.
Step 4: Add the topping
- Pipe a dollop of whipped cream onto each shooter cup.
- Garnish with cookie crumbs, mini cookie pieces, or a drizzle of caramel for extra flair.
Step 5: Chill and serve
- Refrigerate the shooter cups for at least 1 hour to set before serving. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Make-ahead option: Assemble the shooter cups up to a day in advance and keep refrigerated. Add the whipped cream topping just before serving for the freshest presentation.
- Substitutions: Use graham crackers or chocolate cookies if speculoos are unavailable.
- Serving size: Use mini shooter cups, dessert shot glasses, or small ramekins for individual servings.
