Cookie Cups

Makes 48 Cookies

These are a perfect little individual dessert.  Delicious.  Try some today.

Ingredients:

1 box Vanilla, yellow, or white Cake Mix

1 (3.4) ounce box vanilla pudding mix

2 eggs

1 stick butter, softened

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional 

1 cup mini chocolate chips 

Filling: frosting, mousse, or your choice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a  mini muffin tin with cooking spray. (Makes about 48 cookie cups.)

Mix cake mix, pudding mix (dry), eggs, and butter on low speed using an electric mixer. Beat until batter comes together, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in vanilla extract (optional).  Mix in the chocolate chips.

Scoop tablespoon sized balls into prepared pans. Press to fit. Bake 7-8 minutes.  Cool completely before removing from pans and adding filling.

You can fill these cookie cups with your choice of fillings.  I like frosting.  This link goes to my favorite frosting for this.  You can flavor it if you like. Mousse is also a good choice.  Try flavored frosting, such as raspberry, orange, lime or lemon. The cookie cups pictured have vanilla frosting.
