How to Make Coffee Cup Cookies

  1. In a small bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 4 ounces softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  5. Roll the chilled dough into 24 balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  6. Press each ball firmly into a mini muffin cup, covering the bottom and sides.
  7. Place one chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie cup.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder (or 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, cooled), 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  9. Spoon the coffee mixture evenly over the chocolate kisses in each cookie cup.
  10. Bake on the upper-middle rack of your preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly firm.
  11. Let the cookies cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
