Easter Basket Sugar Cookie Cups are a delightful treat perfect for the holiday.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • Colored candies or chocolate eggs for filling
  • Edible grass or shredded coconut (for decoration, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly or using non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough ball into each muffin tin cup.
  7. Using your fingers or the back of a measuring spoon, press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of each cup to create a basket shape.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the centers should remain soft.
  9. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Gently remove the cookie cups from the tin and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, fill each cookie cup with colored candies or chocolate eggs. Optionally, top with edible grass or shredded coconut for decoration.

Notes

  • Store leftover cookie cups in an airtight container.
  • Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite candies.
