Description

Delightful cookie cups filled with creamy chocolate or frosting, perfect for celebrating love on Valentine’s Day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Creamy chocolate or frosting for filling
  • Valentine sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin generously.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, fill the muffin tins with the cookie dough halfway.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are set yet slightly soft.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before pressing a small hole in the center of each with a finger or spoon.
  8. Fill each cup with creamy chocolate or frosting and top with Valentine sprinkles.
  9. Let cool completely before serving.

Notes

Make cookie dough in advance and store in the fridge for up to 48 hours. For a vegan option, substitute butter with vegan butter and use flax eggs.
