Description

Cute, single-serve sugar cookie shells filled with creamy frosting or chocolate ganache — perfect for gifting or a cozy dessert plate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Buttercream or cream cheese frosting (for filling)
  • Chocolate ganache (for filling)
  • Jam (optional filling)
  • Pink heart sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugar together until light.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. Fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  4. Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if it feels soft.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Use a mini cookie scoop to portion 1-tablespoon mounds of dough into a greased 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  7. Press the center of each mound with the back of a small spoon to form cups.
  8. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  10. Fill the cooled cups with buttercream, ganache, or jam and decorate as desired.

Notes

Chill the dough to help maintain cookie cup shape. Use a small scoop for uniform portions.
