Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 120 grams frosting or desired filling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin cups. Press the dough lightly into each cup to form a small indentation in the center.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked, which is fine for a soft texture.
Remove the tin from the oven. While the cookies are still warm, use a small measuring spoon or the back of a spatula to gently press down the centers of each cookie to create a cup shape.
Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the tin before carefully removing them.
Fill each cookie cup with your desired frosting or other fillings such as chocolate ganache, whipped cream, or fruit preserves.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
