How to Make Cupcake Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fill small candy liners about 2/3 full with the cookie dough.
  7. Place the filled liners side-by-side on an ungreased baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool in the liners for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, frost with your favorite white or chocolate frosting. Add sprinkles for extra festive flair! (Red and green are perfect for Christmas!)
