Tips:
- Use softened butter for easier creaming.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the cups will be too thick and the filling will not be as visible.
- Use a cookie cutter with a scalloped edge to create the cups. This will give them a more decorative look.
- Bake the cups for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just beginning to brown around the edges. If the cups are overbaked, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cups cool completely before filling them. If the cups are still warm, the filling will melt and become runny.
- Use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off to fill the cups. This will help you to create a neat and even filling.
- Refrigerate the cups for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and the cups to firm up.
