Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Cups

  • Cooking spray, for greasing
  • 1 (16.6-oz.) tube chocolate chip cookie dough
  • 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips, melted
  • Holiday sprinkles, for decorating (optional)

Filling

  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Shape and Bake Cookie Cups: Divide the cookie dough tube into 12 equal pieces. Place each piece into a muffin cup and press dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides to form a cup shape. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and the edges are fully set.
  3. Form Centers: Immediately after baking, press the center of each cookie with the back of a tablespoon to create an indentation. Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the muffin tin before gently removing them to maintain their shape.
  4. Coat with Chocolate: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of melted bittersweet chocolate into each cookie cup. Use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate evenly on the bottom and sides of the interior to create a chocolate lining. For extra festivity, dip the chocolate-coated edges into holiday sprinkles if desired. Place the cookie cups in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to let the chocolate set firmly.
  5. Prepare and Pour Filling: In a small glass or bowl, combine 1/3 cup whole milk with 3 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream, stirring gently. Pour this creamy mixture into each chocolate-lined cookie cup just before serving to prevent sogginess.

Notes

  • Ensure the cookie cups are fully cooled before removing from the muffin tin to maintain their shape and prevent breakage.
  • The melted chocolate lining helps to keep the filling from soaking into the cookie, maintaining a crisp texture.
  • You can omit Baileys Irish Cream if serving to children or those avoiding alcohol, substituting with an equal amount of milk or a flavored syrup.
  • For a festive touch, use different types of sprinkles to match holiday themes or personal preferences.
  • Store leftover cookie cups without filling in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
