Tips:

  • For a fun and festive touch, decorate the sugar cookie cups with sprinkles, colored sugar, or mini chocolate chips before baking.
  • If you don't have a mini muffin tin, you can also use a regular muffin tin and fill each cup about halfway full.
  • To make the sugar cookie cups ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the cooled cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • When you're ready to fill the sugar cookie cups, let them come to room temperature first. This will help to prevent the filling from cracking.
