Have you ever wanted homemade cookies, but didn’t want to deal with the hassle of shopping for all of the ingredients? You’re in luck. These chocolate chip cookie cups only require four ingredients. Pillsbury™ Purely Simple™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix does all of the work for you!
You don’t always have to follow the directions on the box exactly how they’re written. Think outside of the box. A little creativity can go a long way! I may have followed the directions on the box in terms of ingredients to use, but I baked them into a mini muffin pan and added assorted candies on top. Do you have leftover Halloween candy to use up? This is the perfect opportunity to empty out your stash.
The result is a festive holiday treat, one where people can pick out which flavors they want. The best part is that it doesn’t add any extra time to customize these cookie cups. You’ll get something a little homemade for the holidays with minimal effort.
You can even get the family involved in this one by having kids pick out their favorite candies and having them press them into the tops just before the pan goes into the oven. After they cool, everyone can dig in to their favorite cookie cup!
My favorite (and my DH’s favorite) were the mini M&M’s. The other two candies that I used were dark chocolate peanut butter cups and regular peanut butter cups. Some other great additions would be Butterfingers, sprinkles, walnuts, yogurt chips, white chocolate, dried cranberries, Andes mints, crushed peppermint candies, coconut, cinnamon chips, toffee, graham crackers, animal crackers…. you get the picture. You can add whatever your heart desires.
This cookie mix comes out tasting just as good as when I make my cookies from scratch. It’s delicious! You’ve got to give it a try.
