Unicorn Cookie Cups
Unicorn Cookie Cups
Have you tried the new Lady Gaga Oreos yet?! If not, here's an excuse to run to the store and grab a package! These funfetti cookie cups are stuffed with Oreos and topped with a vanilla buttercream.
They also have rainbow unicorn sprinkles on top to hit home the unicorn reference from Disney's Onward!
Servings: 16 Cookie Cups
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Total Time: 2 Hours
Ingredients
2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled & chopped
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 + 1/2 cups cake flour
1 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 + 1/2 cups Funfetti baking chips
1 package of Lady Gaga Oreos
Vanilla Buttercream
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Unicorn/rainbow sprinkles.
Instructions
Cookie Cups: Preheat the oven to 410°F. Prep a muffin tin with grease/flour and set aside.
Cookie Cups: In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flours, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cookie Cups: Chop 2 sticks of chilled butter in ~1/2 tablespoon blocks and place into a large bowl.
Cookie Cups: Beat the cold butter and sugars until smooth and creamy (5-10 minutes). It will take a while, but eventually, it will come together. I promise!
Cookie Cups: Beat in the 2 eggs. You can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract here if you would like a little bit of a vanilla flavor, but the recipe is still great without it.
Cookie Cups: Incorporate 1/2 of the flour mixture into the dough. Once just combined, add the remaining flour.
Cookie Cups: Mix in the Funfetti chips until the dough is well-combined.
Cookie Cups: Place the dough in the fridge to chill for 20-30 minutes.
Cookie Cups: Shape a small ball of the chilled dough in your palm, and then press an Oreo cookie lightly into the center. Shape another small ball of the dough and place it on top of the Oreo. Smooth down the sides of the dough until the Oreo is covered. Roll the ball between your palms to form a circle. Press the cookie dough ball into the muffin tin.
Cookie Cups: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until just barely golden on the top. Right after removing from the oven, press a line of white chocolate chips along the top of the cookie in a diagonal. Press additional milk chocolate chips over the remaining surface of the cookie.
Vanilla Buttercream: In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of unsalted butter on high speed until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes). Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Add 4 cups total of powdered sugar in increments.
Assembly: Pipe a dollop of buttercream onto the top of each of the cookie cups. Sprinkle with unicorn or rainbow sprinkles.
Enjoy!
