Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (16 ounces/454 grams) Pillsbury Ready To Bake Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough (24 count)
- 1 can Duncan Hines Wilderness Lemon Crème Pie Filling
Garnish:
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the mini muffin tin by arranging parchment paper liners in each cavity, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully distribute sugar cookie dough portions into each lined muffin cup, pressing gently to create an even base.
- Position the muffin tin in a preheated oven set to 350°F, allowing the cookie bases to transform into golden, crisp vessels.
- Monitor the baking process closely, removing the tin when the cookie cups display a delicate bronze hue and feel structurally sound.
- Immediately after extraction, utilize the rounded edge of a spoon to create gentle indentations in the center of each warm cookie cup.
- Transfer the lemon crème pie filling into a plastic piping bag, trimming the tip to create a precise opening.
- Skillfully pipe the vibrant lemon filling into the carefully formed cookie cup cavities, ensuring an elegant and even distribution.
- Allow the filled cookie cups to cool completely, enabling the filling to set and the texture to stabilize.
- Optional: Dust the surface with a delicate veil of powdered sugar, adding a refined and elegant finishing touch to the delectable treats.
Notes
- Achieve perfect texture by ensuring the sugar cookie dough is fully baked without burning, creating a golden-brown base for the lemon filling.
- Create precise indentations while cookies are still warm to form a neat well for the creamy lemon pie filling, using the back of a spoon.
- Utilize a zip-top bag with a snipped corner for mess-free and professional-looking filling distribution into each cookie cup.
- Customize your dessert by adding a light dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant and sweet finishing touch.
- Prepare mini muffin tins with parchment paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of delicate cookie cups.
- Cool cookie cups completely before adding filling to maintain the structural integrity and prevent soggy bottoms.
