Cookie Butter Cups Recipe
These Cookie Butter Cups are one of my favorite quick treats to make. They’re so easy, and the mix of chocolate and cookie butter is seriously delicious!
Servings: 12
Calories: 264kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup creamy cookie butter (Trader Joe's Biscoff, etc)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, white chocolate, or dark chocolate)
- 1/2 Tbsp shortening
Instructions
- Cut 12 cupcake liners down to ¾" thick. Line one cupcake/muffin tin with liners and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, cookie butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Using a spatula, mix the ingredients until combined. Place in the freezer to chill while preparing the chocolate.
- Using a double boiler on the stovetop (or a saucepan with a bowl set over it), add water and set over low heat. Pour in the chocolate and stir continuously until melted, then add the shortening. Remove from the stove and stir until the shortening has melted. Using a pastry brush, spoon, or your fingers, cover the bottom of the cupcake liners with a generous amount of chocolate, as the bottom usually holds the most.
- Remove the cookie butter filling from the freezer and roll it into quarter-sized balls. If the filling is tacky, use a little powdered sugar to help flatten them. Place the flattened balls into each cupcake liner. Pour the remaining chocolate around the sides and over the top. To create an even top, gently shake the pan on a flat surface or tap.
- Place the tin into the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours or until the bottoms of the cups are set. Enjoy them cold or bring them to room temperature before serving.
Notes
-These cups can be made with any type of chocolate! I did a combination of dark and white chocolate cups. You can even get creative and swirl two types of chocolate together.
STORE Cookie Butter Cups in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or up to 2 weeks in the fridge for longer freshness.
You can also FREEZE them for 3 to 6 months in an airtight container. If frozen, thaw them in the fridge before serving.
