Delicious sugar cookie cups filled with creamy cream cheese frosting, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into each muffin cup, pressing down slightly to form a cup shape.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
- If the frosting is too thick, add milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once the cookie cups are completely cool, fill each cup with the cream cheese frosting and decorate with sprinkles or fruit if desired.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, substitute ¼ cup of the flour with cocoa powder.
- Add a dash of lemon zest to the frosting for a citrusy flavor.
