Hot Chocolate Cookie Cups

Such a cute idea, I had to try it. They turned out great in that they were easy to prepare & taste wonderful. I just made these for the first time for a Christmas Party and they came out great. I just made these by mixing a half roll of Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie with a half roll of Pillsbury peanut butter dough. Came out perfect!


This was such a great recipe. They were a HUGE it! I used a sugar coated pressing device to form dough cups before baking and then after baking. If you do not have a 2″ cookie cutter to cut the excess off, try to get one. I think that would have really helped for the excess lip. I ended up taking kitchen sheers and cutting the ones that had excess crust once they cooled. Also…do not try to remove the cups while they are hot! 

I ruined several of them 😉 The pretzels are tricky. I broke several. Have patience with them. I found that if I left a flat end on the pretzel and attached that part to the cup, they were easier to to attach. For the ganache, use 7 Hershey’s chocolate bars, add 1/2 tsp vegetable oil. Hershey’s melts better and has great flavor. You can also at 1/8 – 1/4 tsp peppermint oil for a mint chocolate ganache. GREAT RECIPE!

This easy cookie recipe for Hot Chocolate Cookie Cups is made with Pillsbury Sugar Cookie dough. They're filled with chocolate ganache and have a pretzel handle!

Kit Kat Cookies

My husband LOVES kit kat bars. We even made them homemade for him as a Christmas present. These would be perfect for him!! The beauty of this cookie recipe is that you can add whatever you want to it. Candy, different flavors of chocolate chips, toffee, whatever you want. For this batch I added chopped Kit Kat bars and white chocolate chips. I like the balance between the white chocolate and the Kit Kats. If I’d added milk or semi-sweet chocolate, I think the Kit Kat would have gotten lost. You can add your favorites!
