Mini sugar cookie bites with whipped cream frosting
Oh my, these mini sugar cookie bites are so freaking good. And they are the cutest little homemade desserts you’ll ever make. They will be a hit at your next baby shower, family gathering, wedding reception or birthday party. You need to make these today!
I’m always looking for an excuse to experiment with new desserts and yummy treats. So, when I found this 48-cup mini cupcake pan at a yard sale, I had to make something delicious. I made this mouth-watering twist on a cookie classic: sugar cookies. But the best part is that they are easier than sugar cookies and debatably better. Here’s how to make them.
Gather your mini sugar cookie bites ingredients
Sugar cookie ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Whipped cream frosting
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
Other supplies
- 48-cup mini cupcake pan
- Sprinkles
- Strawberries or blueberries (optional)
Make your sugar cookies
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Spray your 48-cup mini cupcake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Next, you’ll want to cream together all the wet ingredients. First, cream together your butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Then, add your eggs, one at a time, mixing after each eggs. Don’t drop your egg shell accidentally in the mixer like I did! Finally, mix in the vanilla.
Now, in a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add your wet mixture to the dry mixture. You should have the consistency of cookie dough.
Prep and cook your cookie bites
Spray your 48-cup mini cupcake pan. Take a small chunk of cookie dough and roll it into a ball and place it into one of the cup on your mini cupcake pan. Repeat for the remaining 47 cups. Then, make a small indent into each of the rolls of cookie dough so that it’s pressed into each cup.
Frost and decorate your mini cookies
Now for the fun part! Using a frosting bulb, squeeze a dollup of frosting on to each individual cookie bites. A little goes a long way because this frosting is so rich. Then sprinkle whatever toppings onto the frosting that you would like. Since it’s getting close to Valentines’ Day, I added the cutest sprinkles. But you can do whatever you want!
I hope these bites of decliciousness turn out wonderful. Here’s the recipe below.
