Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  5. Gradually add the flour and mix until well combined.
  6. Stir in the crushed mini eggs.
  7. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls into the muffin tin wells. Press in the center of the dough with your thumb or with the bottom of a teaspoon to create a cup shape.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are browned. Immediately after removing from the oven, press the bottom of a teaspoon into the center of each cookie again to gently reshape.
  9. Cool 5-10 minutes before removing onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely before placing 3 additional mini eggs in the cup of cookie.

Notes

  • Storage: Store Easter basket cookie cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer (without candy toppings) for up to 1 month.
  • You can substitute the mini eggs in the dough for mini chocolate chips if desired. 
  • You can fill the cups with any candy you desire, such as M&M's eggs, Reese's Pieces eggs, Hershey's eggs, jelly beans, peeps, mini candy bars, or mini marshmallows.
  • Add some shredded sweetened coconut (plain or colored with green food coloring) to the cookie cups for an adorable Easter basket look.
  • Use a bit of chocolate ganache or royal icing to anchor the candies in the cups for easier transport.
