Servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Sweet Loren’s Fudgy Brownie Cookie Dough
- 1 stick butter or 4 oz solid coconut oil
- ½ pound (2 cups) confectioners sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Green food coloring
- Mini chocolate eggs (for a gluten free option, you can use M&M’s)
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 325F and let Sweet Loren’s Fudgy Brownie Cookie Dough come to room temperature so it becomes soft to touch.
- Grease a 24-count mini muffin pan.
- Divide each cookie dough disk in half and roll into two balls.
-
Place each ball of dough into a mini muffin tin. Repeat with remaining cookies until all 24 muffin spaces are filled with dough.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes until cookies have risen into little cookie cups. Cool pan on a wire baking rack for at least 25 minutes. Don’t remove the cookie nests from pan until completely cooled. The center of your cookie cups should sink in as they cool.
- Meanwhile, make the buttercream icing. Beat butter (or solid coconut oil that hasn’t melted yet) in a bowl with an electric mixer for 5-6 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add in 1 cup of confectioners sugar at a time, beating on medium speed in between each addition. Once all confectioners sugar is added, mix in the vanilla extract. Beat the icing for another 8 minutes until thick and smooth. Fold green food coloring into the icing until well combined.
-
Transfer icing to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip or place icing into a plastic bag and snip off the end. Pipe the icing into each cookie cup in a swirling motion. Top each cookie cup with 1 chocolate egg.
-
Serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
