Cookie Cups
- 24 Maravillas Cookies
- 24 Jet-Puffed Marshmallows
Decorations
- 24 Mini Candy Canes
- Red & Green Confetti Sprinkles
- Tree Shaped Sprinkles
- White & Chocolate Cookie Icing
- Marshmallow Bits
Instructions
- Prepare Cookie Cups: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gently press each Maravillas cookie into a mini muffin tin to form a cup shape without breaking the cookies.
- Add Marshmallows: Place one Jet-Puffed marshmallow inside each cookie cup. Bake for about 3-5 minutes until the marshmallows are puffed and slightly browned, resembling melted hot cocoa foam.
- Decorate: Remove the cookie cups from the oven and immediately decorate each by placing a mini candy cane as a stir stick. Use white and chocolate cookie icing to pipe designs on the cookie, adding red, green confetti, and tree sprinkles as festive toppings. Sprinkle marshmallow bits on top to add a snowy effect.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie cups to cool slightly so the marshmallow sets but remains soft. Serve warm for the best hot cocoa experience in cookie form.
Notes
- Use gentle pressure when shaping cookies to prevent cracking.
- Watch the marshmallows closely while baking as they can burn quickly.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite holiday sprinkles or edible glitter.
- These cookie cups are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
