Ingredients You Will Need
For the Cookie Cups:
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
For the Filling:
1/2 cup of white chocolate chips
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/4 cup of peppermint schnapps
Crushed candy canes for garnish
Now that you have all of your ingredients, it's time to get baking! Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing a mini muffin tin. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Next, add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Take small portions of the dough and press them into the bottom and sides of each muffin cup, creating a cup shape. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
While the cookie cups are baking, you can prepare the filling. In a small saucepan, heat the white chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint schnapps.
Once the cookie cups have cooled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin and let them cool completely. Once cooled, fill each cup with the peppermint filling and top with crushed candy canes for a festive touch. These Christmas cookie shots can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
With just a few simple steps, you can create these delicious and festive Christmas cookie shots to impress your friends and family. These shots are perfect for holiday parties, as a unique gift, or simply to enjoy on a cozy night in. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to spread some holiday cheer with these tasty treats!
