Pumpkin Mousse Cookie Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- Sugar Cookie Cups:
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1-1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- Pumpkin Mousse
- 1 cup 8 ounces heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- nutmeg optional for sprinkling
Instructions
-
Grease mini muffin pan.
-
Heat oven to 375
-
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy - usually about 2-3 minutes. Beat in egg. Add flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix until combined.
-
Roll into 1" balls and press centers down with pastry shaper - or the back of a teaspoon.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before filling.
-
Makes 48 cookie cups
-
Using a mixer and a whisk, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Stir in vanilla, pumpkin and cinnamon and mix well.
-
Pipe onto cookie cups using a pastry bag fitted with a 2M tip. Sprinkle with nutmeg if desired.
-
Makes 12-18
-
I suggest serving shortly after filling. You can refrigerate, but the cookie will soften a bit. Not bad, just not the cream + crunch you will have if you serve immediately. You can always refrigerate the mousse until ready to serve.
