Equipment Needed
All you need to make these milk and cookie shots is a baking sheet, a bowl and a spoon.
Ingredients Needed
Cookie Dough: An amazing shortcut to make this recipe super quickly is using pre made cookie dough! You can use any flavor you love.
Chocolate: I used melted chocolate to coat the inside of the cookie shot.
Milk: The milk goes inside of these cookie shots and pairs so nicely with the cookies to make this classic combination!
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Gather your ingredients and preheat oven to 325°F.
Step 2: If you have a mini muffin pan with shot glass-shaped molds, lightly grease the molds and press the cookie dough into them, forming a well in the center. If you don’t have molds, shape the dough into balls and use your thumb or the back of a spoon to gently press a well in the center of each ball, creating a shallow indentation. You can also use a regular muffin tin and make larger ones!
Step 3: Bake according to instructions on the package. Let cool.
Step 4: Melt chocolate and line the insides of the cookie cups.
Step 5: Freeze until hardened.
Step 6: Pour milk in the glasses when you’re ready to serve. Enjoy!
Storage
These cookie cups can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. I recommend waiting until you are about to consume them to pour the milk inside of them.
How to Serve
Arrange the cookie cups on a platter or baking sheet. You can add a festive touch with cupcake liners or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Offer chilled milk in a pitcher or small carafe for people to fill their cookie cups. Consider flavored milk options like chocolate or strawberry for variety.
Variations
Cookies: The cookie dough options are endless! Use store bought cookie dough for this recipe or homemade. Some flavor ideas are chocolate chip, salted caramel, double chocolate chip,
Chocolate: I used dark chocolate in my milk and cookie shots but you can also use milk chocolate or white chocolate!
Fillings: Offer different filling options besides milk! Consider chilled chocolate milk, coffee, milkshakes or even chilled fruit juices for a refreshing twist. If you are dairy free, use dairy free milk or chocolate milk.
Toppings: Try adding toppings like whipped cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, nuts or mini marshmallows!
