Smore Caramel Cookie Cups Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Follow directions on package of cookie mix to make cookie dough. Roll dough into balls (approximately 24). Place balls in greased mini cupcake pans. (One recipe suggests making indent in the middle, where you will place the Rolo later.)
• 2. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until almost golden brown. Insert 1 Rolo Candy into each cookie. Top with 3 marshmallows. Return to oven for 3 minutes until marshmallows are puffed. Cool.
• 3. Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the marshmallows. *For variation, use double chocolate chip mix, and use junior mints instead of Rolos. Betty Crocker has almost same recipe on their site, which is where I got the variant idea (from a commenter.) www dot bettycrocker dot com forwardslash recipes forwardslash caramel-smore-cups The Betty Crocker recipe is basically the same as I posted, but instead you make 36 cups from one package, and use 1/2 cup chocolate chips to drizzle on top, using 5 packages of Rolos and 108 mini marshmallows. The recipe I am posting here is from recipecircus dot com I am not sure which recipe was used in the ones I tried...probably the Betty Crocker one. I'll update once I make them.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Make cookie dough as directed on package, using butter and egg. Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls. Place 1 ball into each muffin cup.
• Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove from oven; firmly press 1 candy into center of each cookie until flush with cookie top. Top each with 3 marshmallows. Bake 2 to 4 minutes longer or until marshmallows are puffed. Cool 30 minutes. Loosen edges of cookie with small metal spatula and remove to cooling racks. Cool completely.
• Place chocolate chips in small resealable freezer plastic bag. Microwave on High about 1 minute or until softened. Gently squeeze bag until chocolate is smooth; cut off tiny corner of bag. Squeeze bag to drizzle chocolate over marshmallows. Let stand until hardened, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine cookie mix and flour. Beat in butter and egg until blended. Shape dough into 1-1/4-in. balls; press onto bottom and up sides of greased mini-muffin cups., In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, chocolate chips and confectioners' sugar. Place a rounded teaspoon of filling in each cup. Press one caramel into the filling in each cup. Bake until edges are golden brown and caramel is melted, 9-11 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt; top with a pecan half. Cool completely in pan on wire racks.
