The cooking process explained
Preparing your Valentine’s Day Cookie Cups is a straightforward and satisfying process. Here’s what you can expect: you’ll start by creaming together the buttery goodness with sugars until fluffy. After that, you’ll combine the wet and dry ingredients, which is just as enjoyable as it sounds! The dough is then pressed into muffin tins to form cute little cups that are ready for baking. Finally, you’ll cool them briefly before adding chocolate chips or candy to create an indulgent surprise.
