Description

Sugar Cookie Cups are adorable, bite-sized treats made by baking sugar cookie dough into mini cups and filling them with creamy frosting, chocolate ganache, or your favorite fillings. Perfect for parties, holidays, or a fun dessert for the family, they’re customizable and irresistible!

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookie Cups:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: chocolate ganache, fruit preserves, or whipped cream

Optional Toppings:

  • Sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or fresh fruit

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Shape and Bake the Cookie Cups:
    • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place one ball in each cavity of the mini muffin tin.
    • Use your thumb or the back of a measuring spoon to press down the center of each ball, creating a cup shape.
    • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
    • Remove from the oven and immediately press down the centers again to reinforce the cup shape. Allow the cookie cups to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Fill the Cookie Cups:
    • Once the cookie cups are cool, pipe or spoon your desired filling into each cup. Frosting, ganache, or fruit preserves all work beautifully.
  4. Decorate:
    • Add sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, fresh fruit, or any toppings you like.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Store cookie cups in the refrigerator for up to 3 days if filled with perishable ingredients like whipped cream.
  • Customize the flavor by adding lemon zest, almond extract, or sprinkles to the cookie dough.
  • For a shortcut, use store-bought sugar cookie dough.
