Strawberries and Cream Cookie Cups (Absolutely Mouthwatering)
I’m a HUGE fan of Strawberries and I’m crazy about cookies so this time I decided to use both on the same recipe. You will absolutely LOVE these strawberries and cream cookie cups made with my signature cream made with my beloved condensed milk Yummmm! These cuties taste like heaven and are so fresh!
Strawberries and Cream Cookie Cups
This recipe is part of a series I’m working on with my friend Dana from This Silly Girl’s Kitchen so when you finish here jump over and keep the drooling going with her recipe!
These Strawberries and Cream Cookie Cups are easy to make and so delicious. I recommend having it fresh than refrigerated because I like working with really fresh cream and strawberries. But if it happens to get some cups left refrigerate in an airtight container.
These are perfect for a tea time, dessert, party treat and just because! I love them and it was a total success at home and among friends.
The cookie recipe was inspired by The Sprinkle Factory with a few tweaks to keep the sweetness balance in my recipe.
So, Want to know how to make these cute Strawberries and Cream Cookie Cups?
Let’s Go!
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside
- In your stand mixer with paddle attachment beat together unsalted butter and sugar until well combined. Add in egg and mix well again, then add in vanilla.
- Start adding in the flour mixture a cup at a time. Mix until dough forms and begins to clump together.
- Gather up the dough and knead it with hands until it’s nice and smooth. Roll it into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge to chill for about 20-40 minutes.
- In the meantime…
- Pour in a small saucepan the condensed milk. Then fill the condensed milk can with the milk and add the cornstarch. Mix well. Add it to the condensed milk and add in the egg yolk.
- Mix all well on medium heat. Mix constantly to avoid lumps to form until it thickens. This may take about 10 minutes or so. It needs to get really thick. You know it’s ready when you can see the bottom of the pan while mixing.
- Turn off the heat and let it cool completely.
- Once cool put the mixture in a piping bag with your favorite tip and put it in the fridge until the cookie cups are ready and cool.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and butter a 12 muffins pan.
- Get your cookie dough and make small balls, about a tablespoon full.
- Put them into each muffin hole and press them against the bottom to the sides.
If you think it needs more dough you can adjust the amount.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes.
- The dough tends to grow a bit and lose the cup shape, don’t panic that’s normal. Once they are done, just re-do the shape using a smaller cup {smaller than the muffin hole} or a species bottle as soon as you take them out of the oven. That way they keep the shape as they set.
- Let them cool completely.
- Pour your chopped strawberries in a small bowl and add the sugar, mix well and leave for a few minutes to create the syrup. This helps delay the oxidation process.
- Pipe your cream into the cookie cups.
- Top each cup with strawberries. Avoid the syrup to come. Use only the strawberries.
- If you need the strawberries to last longer use gelatin on top of everything. I usually don’t do that because this kind of dessert doesn’t last long enough. There you go!
- Serve and enjoy!

Thank you so much!!!
Easy and delicious, this one is a keeper. I know I’m going to make it over and over again!
Thank you!!!
This looks yummy! You mentioned gelatin on top to make the strawberries last longer. Do you just sprinkle gelatin powder on it with the sugar?
Hi Jolene,
In the case of using gelatin, no not the powder, you need to prepare your flavorless gelatin as the package instructs, let it cool, and when each cookie cup is ready, just pour a little bit on top enough to cover the strawberries.
This is just to make the strawberries look bright and fresh longer. Like when you prepare them for a party and need to sit in the fridge for over 24 hours. If you make it like me to eat them at home, there’s no need, usually, they don’t last long enough LOL.
hope this helps!
Hugs
