Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons alcohol-free vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: Sprinkles or chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Step 3: Beat in the egg and alcohol-free vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Step 5: Scoop about a tablespoon of dough into each muffin cup, pressing it down gently to form a cup shape. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Step 6: Allow the cookie cups to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cooled, fill them with your choice of frosting or toppings like sprinkles or chocolate chips. Enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your Sugar Cookie Cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- If you want to enjoy them warm, simply pop the cookie cups in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to soften them slightly before serving.
- These delightful cookie cups are perfect filled with frosting and topped with sprinkles or chocolate chips, making them a great treat for parties or as a fun dessert for kids.
- For an extra special touch, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for a warm flavor twist that complements the sweetness beautifully.
