Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookie Cups:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Red, white, and pink sprinkles
  • Crushed cookies or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
    • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
    • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  2. Shape and Bake the Cookie Cups:
    • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place each into a cavity of the mini muffin tin.
    • Use your thumb or the back of a measuring spoon to press down the center of each ball, forming a cup shape.
    • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are puffed.
    • Remove from the oven and immediately press the centers down again to reinforce the cup shape. Let the cookie cups cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:
    • In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. Assemble the Cookie Cups:
    • Spoon or pipe the cream cheese frosting into the cooled cookie cups.
    • Decorate with sprinkles, crushed cookies, or chocolate chips.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • To make this recipe dairy-free, use plant-based butter and cream cheese.
