Mini M&M Cookie Cups
These Mini MM Cookie Cups with Buttercream are sure to be a hit! Feel free to sub out the mini MMs for chocolate chips! If you want to make these Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie cups, add 1/4 cups cocoa powder. You can eat these as is or fill. I fill them with my All-Butter American Buttercream. You can easily place a chocolate kiss into the indention while the cookies are still warm or even use a chocolate ganache. You can also bake this in a cake pan for a big cookie! If you’re doing it this way, bake at 340 degrees F for 24-28 minutes.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 10 ounce Mini M&M's 1 package (or 1 10oz package chocolate chips)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degress F. If baking as one large cookie, preheat your oven to 340 degrees F. Lightly spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. **If you want to make these Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie cups, add 2/4 cups cocoa powder.**
- With a stand or handheld mixer, cream the butter, both sugars, and vanilla together until creamy. About 2 minutes.
- Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl. Add 1 egg and mix until incorporated.
- Add the second egg and mix until incorporated. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add the flour mixture and mix just until it starts to come together. You will still see some flour that's not fully mixed in.
- Add the 10 ounce package of mini M&M's.
- Mix again for 10 seconds. You don't want to crush the M&M's, you just want to incorporate them.
- Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl to make sure everything is mixed in.
- Scoop with a small cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon into the mini muffin pan.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. You want to barely see color starting to form around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. They will slightly sink in in the middle as they cool. This is good because that's where you can put the filling of your choice!
- Remove from the pan and let completely cool on a cooling rack. They should come out of the pan easily. I take a steak knife and place it between the pan and the cookie, tilt the knife slightly and the cookie will pop right up.
- Enjoy!
