Ingredients

Steps

  •  
    1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, flour, butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Shape into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls. Place in 36 ungreased mini muffin cups. Press indentation in center of each with end of wooden spoon.
  •  
    2
    Bake 8 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately repeat indentation into center of each cookie with end of clean wooden spoon to create 1-inch opening, cleaning off end with paper towel when needed. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  •  
    3
    Using small paring knife, for each strawberry, carefully cut around stem into pale flesh underneath, and remove. Place strawberry stem-end down on paper towel-lined cookie sheet to dry. Repeat with remaining strawberries.
  •  
    4
    Spoon frosting into large resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag. Insert cut corner of bag into indentation in each cookie cup. Squeeze bag to fill opening, about 1 generous tablespoon per cookie cup. Place stem end of strawberry on each frosting-filled cookie cup, and press down slightly so frosting becomes a brim for hat. Pipe a small dab of frosting on tip of each strawberry for pom-pom. Serve immediately, or store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For best results, use strawberries with similar size and shape.
  • tip 2
    To ensure success of this recipe, completely remove stem and hull of each strawberry and dry completely, in order to not color the frosting.
  • tip 3
    Have only one mini muffin pan? Refrigerate rest of dough while baking first batch. Cool pan about 10 minutes, then bake rest of dough, adding 1 to 2 minutes to bake time.
  • tip 4
    If using 20% more cookie mix (21 oz size), make dough as directed on pouch for cutout cookies.
