How to make Sugar Cookie Cups
How to make Sugar Cookie CupsTo make the sugar cookie cups, you’ll first preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Liberally spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Using a hand mixer, cream together sugar and butter. Add egg and vanilla, mix again, then add the sour cream, salt and soda. Add flour and beat until smooth.
Scoop out 1 TBSP of dough into each muffin cup. I use a cookie scoop– it makes this process so fast and I love that all the cookies are uniform! You’ll have enough dough to make 24 cookie cups, plus about 6 more cookies. I just baked these additional cookies like normal on a cookie sheet. You’ll crumble 1 to use for topping later on.
Bake for 17-18 minutes. Let cookies stand for 1-2 minutes after taking them out of the oven. Spray the round side of a 1 tsp measuring spoon with non-stick spray. Press down into the center of each cookie to create a well. Let cool completely- if you need to hurry this process, feel free to stick the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes.
How to make Banana Cream Pie filling
How to make Banana Cream Pie fillingHere’s how to make the banana cream pie filling. Whisk together the box of dry pudding mix and the milk. Add in the whipped topping and stir gently until combined. Transfer to a pastry bag or a ziplock bag and store in the fridge until the cookies are fully cool.
Take cookies out of muffin tin- I just slid the tip of a knife down 1 side and they popped right out. Pipe banana cream into each cup and top with a slice of banana. Sprinkle with a small amount of cookie crumbles.
Tips to get the PERFECT Banana Cream Pie Cookies:
Tips to get the PERFECT Banana Cream Pie Cookies:Three kitchen items make these cookies come together really fast. First, you’re going to need a mini muffin tin, since that’s what you bake the cookie cups in.
The second item is a KitchenAid mixer. I love mine! I have a Bosch as well but I find I use my KitchenAid for cookies. There is a cookie paddle that comes with every mixer that you attach to the top of the mixer. They’re easy to use and help you mix the ingredients uniformly. Add this to your wish list because it’s one of my all-time used small appliances ever!
The third item is a cookie scoop! Since you bake these cookies in a mini muffin tin, you don’t really have to worry about shape. But using a cookie scoop enables you to measure out the same amount of cookie dough for each cookie cup, and it makes the process super fast. They come in three sizes- 1/2 tablespoon, 1.5 tablespoon and 3 tablespoon scoops. I used the middle size- 1.5 tablespoon for these, and most other cookies.
