Lindt Truffle Sugar Cookie Cups Recipes

LINDT™ TRUFFLE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE CUPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, oil, water and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Shape into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls (about 1 tablespoon each); place in ungreased mini muffin cups. Press indentation in center of each with end of wooden spoon.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. Immediately repeat indentation into center of each cookie with end of wooden spoon to create 1-inch opening, cleaning off end with paper towel when needed. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely.
• Spoon frosting into resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut off corner of bag. Gently insert cut corner of bag into indentation in each cookie cup. Squeeze bag to fill opening, about 1 teaspoon per cookie cup. Cut each truffle in half with small serrated knife, using a gentle sawing motion. Place truffle half on top of frosting, cut side down; drizzle with cookie icing, and immediately sprinkle with candy sprinkles.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In medium microwavable bowl, microwave semisweet baking chocolate and shortening on High until smooth and melted. Pour onto ungreased cookie sheet. Using spatula, smooth chocolate into a thin layer; set aside to harden.

• Meanwhile, to make curly chocolate shavings, use metal spatula to scrape a thin layer of chocolate from metal cookie sheet by sliding spatula edge quickly just under layer of hardened chocolate.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave dark chocolate chips and whipping cream on High until chocolate is melted; stir until smooth.
• Spoon filling evenly into each cookie cup. Press chocolate curls gently into center of each cookie cup. Let filling cool completely before serving.
