Yeball Cookie Cups

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

All-Purpose Flour: Use fresh flour for the best texture and flavor in your cookie cups.
Sugar: A mix of granulated and brown sugar gives depth to the sweetness and chewiness.
Baking Soda: Essential for leavening; it helps your cookies rise just right.
Salt: A pinch enhances all the flavors; don’t skip this step!
Butter: Use unsalted butter for better control over saltiness and creaminess.
Eggs: One large egg will bind everything together beautifully.
Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract adds warmth and sweetness; it’s worth splurging on quality here.
Chocolate Chips or Peanut Butter Cups: Your filling choice makes all the difference; go decadent!

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin to ensure easy removal of those tasty cookie cups later.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This step ensures an even distribution of ingredients for perfect cookies.

Cream Butter and Sugars: In another large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until fluffy and light. This process adds air into your dough for delightful texture.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in one egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The mixture should look smooth and glossy at this point—if not, keep mixing!

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add your dry mixture into the wet ingredients while mixing gently. Be careful not to overmix; we want tender cookies!

Assemble Cookie Cups: Spoon about one tablespoon of dough into each muffin cavity—don’t forget to make space in the center for filling! Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden but centers are still soft.

Now you’re ready to enjoy these delightful yeball cookie cups! Let them cool slightly before indulging in their gooey goodness. Don’t be surprised if they become a new favorite treat in your household!
