Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups: A Fun and Delicious Dessert

This recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups was created by accident when the centers sank in mini muffin pans. Filled with icing, these delightful treats became a favorite among friends.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 40 cookie cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookie Cups:
    • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup butter, softened
    • ¾ cup white sugar
    • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • For the Icing:
    • ½ cup shortening
    • ½ cup butter, softened
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
    • 2 tablespoons milk (or more as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two mini muffin pans.
  2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is well incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Gradually incorporate your flour until it is well-mixed and then incorporate the chips of chocolate.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough into each mini muffin cup.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown. Allow to cool before removing them from the pans.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the icing by beating together the shortening, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, followed by the milk, until the icing reaches a smooth consistency.
  9. Once the cookie cups are cool, fill the centers with icing.

Notes

  • To enhance the flavor, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
