Sugar Cookie Truffle Bites

Brooke Lark
Created January 10, 2017
Sweet sugar cookie cups are filled with chocolate truffle ganache and topped with chocolate shavings. A beautifully simple one-bite dessert.

To make these pretty little cookie cups, you'll need a bag of Betty Crocker cookie mix, a half-stick of butter and one egg. Mix it all together into a crumbly dough, then roll the dough into small balls.

StepA

Place the balls into mini muffin tin and bake them in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 10-11 minutes. The dough will puff slightly.

Step1

Remove the cookies from the oven and use the edge of a wooden rolling pin or spoon to press down the center of each cookie so it forms a little cup.

Step2

Allow the cookies to cool completely before you remove them from your mini muffin tin.

Step2a

With your cookie cups baked, you're half-way there! In a small bowl, microwave some dark chocolate chips and heavy cream together until melted. Stir together until smooth.

Step3

Then spoon the chocolate ganache into each cookie cup.

Step4

Top each cookie cup with chocolate shavings, serve and enjoy!
