Ingredients
- pre-made sugar cookie dough
- gluten-free cookie dough (optional)
- white chocolate
- vegan white chocolate or non-dairy chocolate chips (optional)
- heavy cream
- half-and-half or coconut cream (optional)
- vanilla extract
- almond extract (optional)
- sprinkles
- edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: If you’re using pre-made dough, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick. If you are making your own, follow your favorite sugar cookie recipe.
- Shape the Cookie Cups: Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the rolled dough. You’ll need enough circles to line the inside of your shot glass. Gently press the dough into the shot glasses to form a cup, leaving a little dough above the rim for a nice finish.
- Bake the Cookie Cups: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the lined shot glasses on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden. Let them cool completely.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Make sure not to overheat it.
- Coat the Cookie Cups: Once the cookie cups are cool, carefully coat the inside with the melted white chocolate. This will help keep the cookies from getting soggy. Place them in the fridge to set for about 15-20 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a touch of sugar (if desired). Whip until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Fill the Cups: Once the white chocolate has hardened, fill each cookie cup with the whipped cream mixture. You can use a piping bag for a more elegant look or simply spoon it in.
- Garnish: Top each filled cookie shot with festive sprinkles. This is where you can get creative and make them look extra special!
- Serve and Enjoy: These cookie shots can be served immediately. Just be ready for a fun and delicious experience!
