Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz pre-made sugar cookie dough
  • 2 cans chocolate frosting (or flavor of choice)
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
  • Non-stick cooking spray (with flour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Divide cookie dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
  3. Place one ball into each well of a greased 12-count muffin tin.
  4. Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and immediately press the center of each cookie with a teaspoon to form a cup shape.
  6. Allow cookie cups to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cool, fill each cup with frosting and top with sprinkles or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use a mini muffin tin for bite-sized cookie cups; bake 10–12 minutes.
  • Ensure centers are fully cooked before removing from the oven.
  • Let cookie cups cool slightly before removing to prevent breakage.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
  • Freeze unfrosted cookie cups for up to 2 months.
