COOKIE CUPS

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
  • Cream the brown sugar, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all ingredients are blended.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • Add in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until all combined.
  • Add in the mini chocolate chips and blend for a few seconds until just combined.
  • Scoop about 1 TBSP of cookie dough into each mini muffin space. 11. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Immediately after removing from oven, lightly press a mini Snickers square into each cookie until level with top of cookie. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Cool cookies completely.

CARAMEL BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

  • In stand mixer, cream butter until smooth.
  • Add in the vanilla, caramel and powdered sugar and mix on high for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream a teaspoon at a time to get the consistency you are looking for. If frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  • Put the frosting in a piping bag with a round tip OR you can put the frosting in a gallon size Ziploc bag and cut off one corner of the bag. Use the frosting bag to pipe frosting in a spiral on top of the cooled cookies. Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt.
