Equipment

  • Stand mixer or electric mixer.

Ingredients

Cookie cups

  • 3 cups flour {scooped not packed}
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup -3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract I prefer clear

Cream

  • 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
  • Whole milk {use the same condensed milk can as a measure}
  • 2 tbsp cornsarch
  • 1 egg yolk.

Topping

  • 12-15 Strawberries {chopped}
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

CREAM:

  • Pour in a small saucepan the condensed milk.
  • Then fill the condensed milk tin can with the milk and add the cornstarch. Mix well.
  • Pour the cornstarch into the condensed milk and add in the egg yolk.
  • Stir all well on medium heat with a whisk.
  • Stir constantly to avoid lumps forming 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.

COOKIE BATTER:

  • 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 the vanilla.
  • Start adding 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 your hands until it’s nice and smooth.
  • Roll it into a ball, wrap it with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge to chill for about 20-40 minutes.
  • 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.

THE COOKIE CUPS:

  • 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 clear gelatin on top of everything. I usually don’t do that because this kind of dessert doesn’t last long enough.
  • Serve and enjoy!
