Description

Adorable, cozy, and delicious—these cookie cups look like mini mugs of hot chocolate but are completely edible. A chewy cookie base holds melted chocolate “cocoa,” topped with marshmallows or whipped cream for the perfect festive treat. Fun to make with kids and guaranteed to impress at holiday parties.


Ingredients

Scale

1 package sugar cookie dough (or homemade sugar cookie dough)

1 cup milk chocolate chips

½ cup heavy cream

Mini marshmallows (or whipped cream)

Pretzel twists (for mug handles)

Holiday sprinkles (optional)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.

Scoop cookie dough into each cup, pressing up the sides to form a well. Bake 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.

Immediately press the center down with a spoon to keep the cup shape. Cool completely in the pan before removing.

Heat heavy cream until warm, pour over chocolate chips, and stir until smooth to make ganache.

Spoon ganache into cooled cookie cups.

Top with mini marshmallows or whipped cream, then decorate with sprinkles.

Attach a pretzel twist “handle” to the side with a little melted chocolate.

Let set before serving.
