How to Make Boston Cream Dessert Cups Cookie Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 23-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups. Lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine one box (17.1 oz) of your favorite chocolate chip cookie mix, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Shape the dough into 23 equal-sized balls.
  5. Place one dough ball into each prepared baking cup.
  6. Moisten the bottom of a small, flat-bottomed glass with a drop of water. Dip the glass into 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  7. Press the sugared glass onto each dough ball to flatten slightly, re-dipping the glass in sugar after each ball.
  8. In the same large bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and ¼ cup milk with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
  9. Beat in 1 cup sour cream.
  10. Reduce speed to low and beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, until just blended.
  11. Stir in 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix until well combined.
  12. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling over the dough in each cup.
  13. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the filling is set.
  14. Let cool in the muffin tin for 30 minutes.
  15. Remove the dessert cups from the muffin tin.
  16. Microwave 1 (16 oz) container of your favorite chocolate frosting uncovered on high for 30 seconds to soften.
  17. Stir until smooth.
  18. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of frosting onto the center of each cookie cup.
  19. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the frosting is set.
  20. Store covered in the refrigerator. Remove from paper liners before serving, if desired.
