For the Filling:

Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Pan

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake and Shape the Cups

  • Using a mini cookie scoop, place dough into each cavity of the mini cupcake pan.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and immediately press down the center of each cookie with the cap of a water bottle to create a crater.
  • Allow to cool completely in the pan before removing.

Prepare the Filling

  • In a small bowl, beat the Heavy Whipping Cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat Cream Cheese and Vanilla Extract until smooth.
  • Add the sifted Confectioners Sugar and mix until well combined.
  • Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.

Fill and Serve
