These Easy Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups are made with store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough, filled with caramel candy kisses and topped with chocolate frosting.
Unwrap the 10 ounce bag caramel chocolate kisses and set aside.
Place the 16.5 ounce (1 lb. 5 ounce tube) chocolate chip cookie dough it in a medium bowl.
Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough into your hands and roll into a 1 inch ball.
Press the dough ball into the bottom of an ungreased mini muffin pan.
Press a caramel chocolate kiss in the center of the cookie dough.
Place the mini muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 7 to 9 minute or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 to 20 minutes in the pan. This allows the cookies are firm back up some and become easier to remove.
Gently loosen the sides of the cookie up with a toothpick and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Add the 16 ounces canned chocolate frosting into a piping bag fitted with the Wilton 1M tip and pipe small swirls on top of each cookie around the chocolate kiss.
Add the sanding sugar or festive sprinkles.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
