Be Mine: S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups!

 A quick and easy Valentine’s Day treat for the s’mores lover, using a shortcut~ refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough!

 I have an easy, sweet treat for Valentine’s Day~ S’mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups!

These cookie cups are quick to throw together using refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough from the grocery store. I sent these to my husband’s office and they were a hit! Best of all you can adjust your candy, filling and sprinkles for any holiday!

Spray your mini muffin tin(s) liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Place your cookie dough pieces in a mini muffin tin to bake.

I rolled the pieces slightly in my hand so they were round-ish and just the take the square edges off.

Follow the directions for baking on the package of the cookie dough, and bake until cookies are done, about 11 – 15 minutes.

As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press in the centers gently. I used the back of a melon baller to press down the centers.

Let the cookies cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Use a knife to gently lift cookie cups out of the tin and move to a wire rack to cool completely.

When the cookie cups are cool, fill them with a teaspoon of chocolate-hazelnut spread, I used Nutella.

Top each cookie cup with mini marshmallows. Broil on high until marshmallows brown, about 20 – 30 seconds, watching so they don’t burn. Remove from the oven and top with a candy kiss and/or Valentine sprinkles or candy of choice. I used Hersey’s Hugs Kisses. Makes 24 cookie cups.

Note: I hope the s’mores police don’t come after me, since these cups aren’t technically s’mores without graham crackers. I debated about using a graham cracker crust and experimented, but decided these were better with a chocolate chip cookie cup of candy, chocolate and marshmallow didn’t need the graham crackers. Feel free to play around and fill them according to your sweet tooth!
