Description

Indulge in the delightful marriage of cannoli and cookie with these scrumptious Cannoli Cookie Cups. A fusion of sweet, creamy filling nestled in a crispy cookie shell, these treats are a perfect blend of flavors and textures.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Cups:

  • 1 roll (16 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

For the Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese, drained
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios, optional

For Garnish:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  2. Prepare Cookie Cups: Cut cookie dough into 24 equal pieces and press each piece into the bottom and sides of the muffin cups to form a small shell. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and press the center of each cup down with a spoon to form a well. Let cool completely.
  3. Make Filling: Beat ricotta, mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill cooled cookie cups with the mixture.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped pistachios and powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, fill the cookie cups just before serving to maintain their crispness.
  • The filling can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated.
