Chocolate chip cookie cups are filled with sweet icing in this bite-sized treat everyone will beg you to make!

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin pans.
2 Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
3 Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
4 Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough into the prepared mini muffin cups.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, 9 to 12 minutes. Cool before removing from the pans.
6 Meanwhile, beat shortening, butter, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl. Beat in confectioners' sugar gradually, 1 cup at a time. Beat in milk until icing is smooth. Add a little more milk if icing is still dry.
7 Fill the center of each cooled cookie cup with icing.
