Ingredients
- uncooked sugar cookie dough can be the refrigerated kind or from a dry package and prepared according to the package directions
Instructions
- Roll the dough into roughly 1″ balls and place all the balls into the muffin depressions in a greased mini muffin pan. Lightly press a spoon or rounded tablespoon into the top center of each dough ball to create a crater in the middle.
- Bake the cookie cups at 375 degrees for about 9 minutes. It’s ok if the centers seem a wee bit undercooked as long as they’re not ‘doughy’.
- Again, use your spoon or tablespoon to lightly push down the center again retain the ‘cup’ form.
- Let the cookie cups rest for 5 minutes, before transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling completely.
- Once cooled they can be filled with whatever filling you want- examples include min scoops of ice cream, frosting, or even pudding.
Notes
- It's ok if the center of the cups is a little underdone. You just don't want them to be "doughy."
- Pressing your spoon into the cooked cup while it's still hot will put the shape back into the cookies if they've puffed at all during the baking process.
- Don't fill them until they are cooled and you are ready to serve them!
