Ingredients

  • 1 17.5 ounce sugar cookie mix , I used Betty Crocker
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter , softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling and Fruit

  • 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
  • 3/4-1 cup powdered sugar , sifted
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup whipped topping , I used Cool Whip
  • 1 cup fruit , strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 24-well mini muffin pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl using a wooden spoon, combine the sugar cookie mix, butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Scoop the dough into 1 Tablespoon balls and place in the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each well evenly. Use your finger or the back of a 1/2 teaspoon to press a small indentation into the center of each dough ball to form a cup.
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will look soft and slightly puffed.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and gently press down the centers with the 1/2 teaspoon again. Let the cookie cups cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Filling and Fruit

  • Place the cream cheese in a large bowl mixing bowl. Whip with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla and salt then mix again. Add the powdered sugar a 1/2 cup at a time, fully mixing it into the cream cheese each time. Add more or less powdered sugar as needed.
  • Fold in the whipped topping.
  • Add frosting to a piping bag or zip top bag with the corner cut off and fill the center of each cup.
  • Slice fruit into small pieces (can leave blueberries and raspberries whole) and garnish each cookie cup top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Strawberries, kiwis and mandarin oranges will need to be diced. You can leave blueberries and raspberries whole.
Serve immediately or store up to 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
You could use lemon curd instead of the cream cheese filling.
