Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar aka icing sugar or confectioners sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
*I use salted butter so if you use unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and whisk together with the flour.
FILLING
- ¾-1 cup Toffee bits
- ¾-1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand up mixer with the paddle attachment beat together the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the flour and mix just until combined. Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead to form a smooth ball.
- Divide the dough into 24 balls and place each ball in a lightly greased and floured mini muffin pan cup. Flatten the ball with a lightly floured shot glass (or the utensil shown in the photo) so that it covers the bottom and the sides. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 325F (160C).
- Fill each cup with a teaspoon or two of filling, bake for about 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and top each cup with more of the filling. Let cool for about 10 minutes then move to a wire rack. Enjoy!
Cup of Yum
FILLING
- In a small bowl combine the toffee bits and mini chocolate chips.
Notes
- To remove the cups, gently run the tip of a knife around the edges to loosen.
- Depending on your oven temperature you may want to start checking at about 15 minutes.
- The cooled cookies should be stored in an air tight container, be sure to place parchment paper between each layer. They will last up to 4-5 days at room temperature.
- They can also be frozen the same way and will keep up to two to three weeks in the freezer.
