Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Cups
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two cupcake tins.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powders, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then add vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop the dough into the prepared cupcake tins, filling each cup two-thirds full.
- Bake for 10–13 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Press down the center of each cookie to create wells while still warm.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into a mixture of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract.
- Pipe the cheesecake filling into each cooled cookie cup and refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
- Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top before serving.
