Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (16 oz/454 g) Pillsbury Ready To Bake Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough (24 count)
- 1 can Duncan Hines Wilderness Lemon Crème Pie Filling
- powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a mini muffin tin with parchment paper, ensuring complete cavity coverage for seamless cookie cup extraction.
- Dough Placement: Gently nestle sugar cookie dough into each lined cavity, pressing softly to create uniform and compact bases that will transform into delicate culinary vessels.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the muffin tin into a preheated 350°F oven, watching the cookie bases develop a golden, crisp exterior with delicate bronze edges that signal perfect doneness.
- Cavity Formation: Immediately after removing from the oven, use a spoon’s rounded edge to create gentle indentations in the center of each warm, malleable cookie cup, crafting perfect receptacles for the luscious filling.
- Filling Technique: Transfer the bright lemon crème pie filling into a piping bag with a precisely trimmed tip, then artfully pipe the vibrant mixture into the cookie cup cavities, ensuring an elegant and even distribution that celebrates the dessert’s visual and gustatory appeal.
- Finishing Touch: Allow the filled cookie cups to cool completely, enabling the filling to set and stabilize, then optionally dust with a whisper-light veil of powdered sugar to elevate the dessert’s aesthetic elegance.
Notes
- Prepare Perfectly: Use parchment paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of delicate cookie cups.
- Press with Precision: Gently shape cookie dough to create uniform bases, avoiding overworking the dough which can make cookies tough.
- Create Cavity Carefully: Use a spoon’s rounded edge immediately after baking to form gentle indentations while cookies are still warm and pliable.
- Pipe Like a Pro: Use a piping bag with a trimmed tip for clean, even filling distribution and a professional-looking final presentation.
