Snickers Chocolate Cookie Cups Ingredients: For the cookie cups: 3/4 cups butter 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup milk 1 egg 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 2 & 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 cup cocoa 1 tsp cornstarch 48 mini Snickers bars For the icing and caramel: 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup shortening 2 cups powdered sugar 1/8 cup cocoa 1/8 cup peanut butter 1to 2 tbsp water caramel sauce (I used this one) Directions: 1. Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. 2. Add milk, egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. 3. Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Dough will be thick. 4. Grease a mini muffin tin. 5. Make balls of about 2 large tsp in size and press into the bottom of each mini muffin cup. Press the center down just a bit to make an indention, where youll add the mini snickers later. You want each cup to only be about 3/4 full. 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes. 7. Remove from oven (the centers may look a little undone, but they will cook more as they sit) and press mini snickers into the center of the cookie cups. 8. Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes in the muffin tin. The mini Snickers will start to melt. 9. Remove cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling. 10. To make the icing, beat the butter and shortening together until smooth. 11. Add the powdered sugar to the butter mixture, one cup at a time, and mix until smooth. 12. Add peanut butter and cocoa and mix until smooth. 13. Add 1-2 tbsp of water until the icing is the right consistency. Top the cookie cups with the icing, then a little bit of caramel sauce, Enjoy!
