Hot Cocoa Cookie Cups

How cute are these hot cocoa cookie cups?! They're such a fun holiday dessert and goes great with real hot cocoa. The chocolate ganache in the cups is to die for! 

What you need:

Pillsbury refrigerator sugar cookie dough

3 tbs sugar

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tbs cocoa mix

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

White chocolate chips

Mini pretzels

Jet-puffed mallow bites

Optional- peppermint extract

- preheat oven according to packaging on cookies. 

- spray mini muffin tins with non-stick spray. Roll dough into 1 tbs balls (half the size of each muffin tin). Roll dough into sugar and place into the tins.

- bake for half the time the packaging says or until the edges turn golden. Cups needs to cool completely before removing. If the cups don't dent in enough, take the bottom of a teaspoon and press it into the middle of the cookie.

- place chocolate chips in a bowl and set aside.  In a saucepan, bring whipping cream to a boil. Add the cocoa and mix well. If desired- mix in 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract. Pour over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir until the chips are melted.
- use a teaspoon to scoop the chocolate ganache into the cups.  Top with marshmallows. Break the mini presents to make handles.  Melt the white chocolate and use it as glue to stick the pretzels to the side.
