Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
How to Make Raspberry-Stuffed Cookie Cups
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop about a tablespoon of cookie dough into each mini muffin cup, pressing it down to form a cup shape. Reserve some dough for topping later.
- Bake the cookie cups for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookie cups are cooling, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookie cups are completely cooled, spoon a generous dollop of the cream cheese mixture into each cookie cup.
- Top each filled cookie cup with fresh raspberries, pressing them gently into the cream cheese mixture.
- If desired, crumble the reserved cookie dough and sprinkle it on top for added texture. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Do not overmix the cookie dough; mix just until combined to keep the cookies tender.
- Let the cookie cups cool completely before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
- Use a piping bag for a neater filling if desired.
Easy Variations
- Swap raspberries for other berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
- Add a drizzle of chocolate or a sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Experiment with flavored cream cheese, such as lemon or almond, for a twist on the filling.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent pairing
- Fresh whipped cream for added lightness
- A drizzle of chocolate sauce for a rich touch
- A cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness
