Toaster pastries with their crunchy icing and jammy centers are an iconic childhood treat. These mini cookie tarts borrow their inspiration from frosted strawberry toaster pastries with Betty Crocker™ Soft Baked Birthday Cake Batter Cookie Mix doing the heavy lifting.

Each little strawberry cookie cup tart features a golden cookie shell that holds a jammy center, a soft cookie top, and sweet frosting. The cookie base is first parbaked, making for a slightly crunchy texture that contrasts wonderfully with the soft cookie top, jam, and frosting. Add sprinkles on top for even more textural contrast!

Ingredients

Cookies

Filling

  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam

Frosting

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Candy sprinkles to decorate

Instructions

  • Step 
    1

    Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.

  • Step 
    2

    Mix the cookie mix, butter, eggs, and 1 tablespoon water according to the package instructions. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup. Bake for 10 minutes.

  • Step 
    3

    Meanwhile, roll the remaining dough into 24 small, even-sized balls. Set aside.

  • Step 
    4

    Remove cookie bases from the oven. Immediately dip the end of a wooden spoon or any tool that will make a small well in the cookie cup in flour to prevent sticking; press a well in the center of each cookie while still hot. (I used a muddling tool; a wine cork works, too!) 

  • Step 
    5

    Fill each well with a generous teaspoon of jam, and top with one of the cookie dough balls from step 3.

  • Step 
    6

    Bake for 11 to 13 minutes longer. Remove from the oven, and cool before removing from the muffin pan.

  • Step 
    7

    In a medium bowl, mix the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of water, vanilla, and salt. Add more water until you get the frosting consistency you like.

  • Step 
    8

    Dip cookie cups in frosting or spoon the frosting on the top. Decorate with sprinkles.
