Today I made a recipe from one of my favorite blogs "Cookies & Cups" called Strawberry Mousse Sugar Cookie Cups. Even though the title is a mouthful, it looks really yummy and easy. The dessert is basically "cups" made out of sugar cookies, filled with chocolate and topped a strawberry mousse.
I started by making the cookie cups. I used store bought sugar cookie dough and scooped out small dollops of batter into mini muffin tins. The cookies bake for about 8-10 minutes and as soon as they come out of the oven I dropped 4-5 chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate and white chocolate) in the center of each cookie cup. The heat from the cookie melts the chocolate chips and I smoothed out the chips as best as I could.

While the cookies cooled completely, I made the strawberry mousse filling. The mousse is created by mixing cream cheese and confectioners sugar together until it is smooth. Cool whip is then incorporated to create a nice mousse texture. Finally, fresh, chopped strawberries are added to the mousse and it is put into the refrigerator to set.

A few hours later, I filled a pipping bag with the mousse and pipped small dollops in the center of the cookie cups. I garnished a few with a slice of fresh strawberry and they looked really pretty! These tasted really yummy, not my typical type of dessert, but a nice, small treat that you can easily pop into your mouth!
