Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups image

This recipe came about as a total accident. When I was a teenager, I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies in mini muffin pans, but the centers sank in. In a pinch, I filled the centers with icing and voila! The cookie cup. My friends would beg me to make these every week.

Time 45m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 14

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
½ cup shortening
½ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin pans.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough into the prepared mini muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, 9 to 12 minutes. Cool before removing from the pans.
  • Meanwhile, beat shortening, butter, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl. Beat in confectioners' sugar gradually, 1 cup at a time. Beat in milk until icing is smooth. Add a little more milk if icing is still dry.
  • Fill the center of each cooled cookie cup with icing.
