Mini sugar cookie fruit cups are delightful treats that combine the sweetness of sugar cookies with the freshness of fruit. Hereβs a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
For the sugar cookie cups:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the fruit filling:
Assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mango, etc.), diced
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or use non-stick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball into the mini muffin tin and press down in the center to create a cup shape.
Bake the sugar cookie cups in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the muffin tin.
Once the cookie cups are cooled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin and transfer them to a serving platter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced fruits with honey or maple syrup (if using). Toss gently to coat the fruits.
Spoon the fruit mixture into each sugar cookie cup, filling them to the top.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your mini sugar cookie fruit cups!
