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.
Ingredients
Icing
- ½ cup shortening
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
- 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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin pans.
Step 2
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough into the prepared mini muffin cups.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, 9 to 12 minutes. Cool before removing from the pans.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Fill the center of each cooled cookie cup with icing.
