Ingredients

Cookie Cups

Filling

  • 5 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir Cookie Cup ingredients until soft dough forms. Shape into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls (about 1 tablespoon each); place in ungreased mini muffin cups.
  • 2
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set when lightly touched in center. Cool in pan 5 minutes; press indentation into center of each with end of wooden spoon, cleaning off end with paper towel when needed. Remove from pan to cooling rack; cool completely.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat cream cheese, 2 tablespoons butter and the vanilla with electric mixer on low speed about 1 minute or until well combined. Slowly add powdered sugar, beating on low speed until well blended. Increase speed to medium; beat 1 minute.
  • 4
    Spoon filling into resealable food-storage plastic bag. Snip off corner of bag. Gently insert cut corner of bag into indentation in each cookie cup. Squeeze bag to fill opening, about 2 teaspoons per cookie cup. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Save time during the busy holidays by freezing baked unfilled cookie cups in airtight containers. Thaw when needed, and top with cream cheese filling.
  • tip 2
    For a more polished look, spoon frosting into decorating bag fitted with star tip. Pipe frosting on top of each cookie cup.
  • tip 3
    For an easy garnish, reserve cookie crumbs that cling to the spoon handle when creating the indentations; sprinkle over filling.
  • tip 4
    If using 20% more cookie mix, add 1 tablespoon water with the mix, butter and egg.
