Description
Small, edible cookie cups shaped like cauldrons, perfect for Halloween treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Green food coloring gel
- Black frosting
- Orange sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half. Add green food coloring gel to one half until a deep green color is achieved. Leave the other half plain.
- Roll small portions of the dough into balls. Flatten each ball slightly and press it into the mini muffin tin cups, forming a small well in the center to resemble a cauldron shape. You can mix green and plain dough for a mottled effect.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, fill the center well of each cookie cup with black frosting.
- Top the frosting with orange sprinkles.
Notes
- Use a small round piping tip to create a handle shape on the side of the cookie cup with black frosting, if desired.
- You can use melted chocolate instead of black frosting for a firmer filling.
