Ingredients
- 16.5 ounce (1 lb. 5 ounce tube) chocolate chip cookie dough
- 16 ounces canned chocolate frosting
- 10 ounce bag caramel chocolate kisses (about 40 kisses)
- sanding sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Prepare Caramel Kisses. Unwrap the 10 ounce bag caramel chocolate kisses and set aside.
- Prepare Dough. Place the 16.5 ounce (1 lb. 5 ounce tube) chocolate chip cookie dough it in a medium bowl.
- Scoop Dough. Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough into your hands and roll into a 1 inch ball.
- Form Cookie Cups. Press the dough ball into the bottom of an ungreased mini muffin pan.
- Add Caramel Kiss. Press a caramel chocolate kiss in the center of the cookie dough.
- Bake Cookies. Place the mini muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 7 to 9 minute or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Cool in Pan. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 to 20 minutes in the pan. This allows the cookies are firm back up some and become easier to remove.
- Transfer to Rack. Gently loosen the sides of the cookie up with a toothpick and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Pipe Frosting. Add the 16 ounces canned chocolate frosting into a piping bag fitted with the Wilton 1M tip and pipe small swirls on top of each cookie around the chocolate kiss.
- Add Toppings. Add the sanding sugar or festive sprinkles.
- Store. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Letting the cookies cool in the pan for 10 to 20 minutes helps them firm up and makes them easier to remove without breaking.
- Use a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M tip for the frosting to create attractive swirls.
