Equipment
- Cookie shot glass mold Metal molds with removable inserts ensure stability.
- stand mixer For creaming butter and sugar.
- pastry brush Used for chocolate lining.
- Baking tray and wire rack For cooling and decorating.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 10 ounces melting chocolate wafers, for lining and rims
- holiday sprinkles, for decoration
- 12 icing decorations (stars, candy canes, etc.)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and eggs until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until a very thick dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, then chill for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press small discs of dough into the bottom of each cookie shot mold, then press dough evenly up the sides to 1/4 inch thickness. Insert the mold’s cylinder, press gently, and twist to release.
- Bake with inserts for 21–23 minutes. Immediately after baking, trim excess dough from the top for a clean edge. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then remove inserts and cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate wafers until smooth. Using a pastry brush, coat the inside of each cookie shot glass completely with melted chocolate to seal it. Check for gaps and coat generously.
- Dip the rims into melted chocolate and immediately add holiday sprinkles. Attach icing decorations to the fronts using a dab of melted chocolate.
- Once the chocolate lining is fully set, fill the cookie glasses with milk, mousse, pudding, or holiday liqueur. Serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
Ensure the cookie walls are a uniform 1/4 inch thick to prevent cracking. A full chocolate lining is essential to seal the cookie and prevent leaks—apply generously and check for gaps before filling.
