Cookie Cups

So, it's 2am and you're wide awake. You log in to your Pinterest account and start pinning everything that looks interesting. The weekend rolls around, and you pick a post to try. It's a great idea, it should be super easy to make.

Introducing.....The COOKIE CUP!

If you click on the pin, it takes you to the Wilton website, where it shows that these are actually sugar cookies, not chocolate chip. I don't know about you, but all the fails I have seen are using chocolate chip dough.

Ingredients:

     2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
     1 teaspoon salt
     1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
     1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
     1 egg
     1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
     1/2 teaspoon No Color Almond Extract

Makes 12 bowls.

Instructions:

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the outside of each cup with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and extracts. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture
Step 3
Roll out dough on a generously-floured surface to 1/8" thickness. Cut 4.5" circles from the dough. Drape one circle over each cup, pressing to smooth surface.
Step 4
Bake 11-13 minutes or until cookie bowls are firm and golden brown. Cool on pan on cooling rack for 10 minutes. Loosen bottom edges of cookies from pan using small spatula. Carefully remove cups from pan and cool completely. Wash, dry and spray pan; repeat with remaining dough.

Sounds easy enough, right?

Maybe not...Stay tuned for the UNfail!
