Mini Holiday Cookie Cup Sundaes

Posted by in Cookies, Desserts, Taste | 5 comments

Who doesn’t love a bite sized dessert? These little festive bites are made from cookie dough that you bake into mini “cups”. They’re so simple the kids could even make them. Once baked and cooled (otherwise the ice cream will just melt everywhere and you’ll have a holiday shot – there’s another idea altogether) you fill them full of sundae scrumptiousness. Set out a few toppings a few ice cream flavors and let the kids (young and young at heart) go crazy!

Like to do things in advance? Make up a batch of the “cups” the night before, store them in an airtight container and then you’re ready to roll or scoop at a moment’s notice. Get creative and use whatever cookie dough you like. We’ve gone the festive route and used Pillsbury Peppermint Sugar Cookie Dough as our base. Filled it with ice cream and then topped it off with homemade strawberry sauce (fresh sliced strawberries sprinkled with sugar and left to mingle and then pureed) and cocoa nibs. Because I know you like options, crushed peppermints would be fantastic and add a nice crunch to the top as well.

These “cups” are incredibly versatile and could even be made in a regular muffin tin for larger portions! What are you going to fill yours with?

Baci!
