What makes this recipe great?

This took a few tries to create the best no-fuss recipe. I needed a recipe that was easy to assemble and keep its shape through the baking process. Every recipe that I found ended up as a big puddle in the bottom of my baking tin or a big poofy mess that needed to be formed back into the cup shape after baking. Ultimately, I didn’t want to be “fixing” the cup after baking because I don’t want to risk damaging the cookie cup shape or burn myself in the process.

Alright, you ready to get started?! Let’s get baking!

Supplies

• Cooking spray
• Popover pan, muffin pan, or cookie shot glass pan
• Stand mixer, handheld mixer or whisk
• Large bowl
• Measuring cups/spoons
• Spatula

These cookie shots can be made in a popover pan to create the tall shot glass cup. Don’t have a popover pan? You can use a muffin tin, but you will have short stubby cups instead of tall ones like a shot glass.

They also make a pan specifically to make cookie shot glasses, that you could use if you prefer. Whichever tin you choose, don’t worry, it will still taste delicious!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Shots Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
• 1 package mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup milk chocolate (for melting; chips or finely chopped chocolate)

Directions to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Shots

First, you will want to preheat your oven to 375 degrees and spray your popover pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the salt, eggs and vanilla extract and mix well. Then, add flour and combine well. Add the mini chocolate chips and mix until thoroughly incorporated.

The dough will be really crumbly but will stay formed when pressed together.

Pull out about a tablespoon of dough at a time. Between your palms, flatten the dough into thin flat disks.

Place the first section into the bottom of the pan’s cup and pressing the dough piece into place. Continue to do the same with more dough pieces, working your way up the sides of the cup.

Use your fingers to seal any cracks or holes. This dough does not rise so if there are holes before you bake they may not self-correct itself while baking. Clean up the dough at the top of the cup using a knife to trim it and smooth any rough edges with your fingers.

Continue with each cup until you have used up the dough. Place on center rack and bake for 12-14 minutes. The rim will look golden brown. At the bottom of the cup the dough will look wet and not quite done, but it will set as it cools.

One the cookies have cooled gently place a cookie pan or cutting board on top of the popover pan and flip the popover pan upsidedown. The chocolate chip cookie shot glasses should slide right out onto the baking sheet. If any of the shot glasses are stuck in the pan, gently tap the bottom of the popover pan to release the stuck chocolate chip cookie shot glasses.

Finally, melt the final 1 cup of chocolate. You can melt it in a small bowl in the microwave. Microwave it for 45 seconds and stir. Microwave for 15-second increments and stirring between each increment until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Once the chocolate is melted you can either use a spoon to scoop and smooth the chocolate into the shot glass. You can also pour the chocolate in and rotate the shot glass until the inside is thoroughly covered. Let chocolate firm up before serving.

Fill up shot glasses with milk to serve. I did not test how long the milk can remain in the shot glass before damaging the integrity of the shot glass so you may want to do a test run if you plan on doing these for any special events where you may prep the glasses with milk ahead of time.
