SNOWMAN CUPS
Ingredients:
1 Package of Pillsbury Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
1 Cup of heavy cream or whipping cream
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 tsp. powdered sugar
Candy Sprinkles for buttons and face (optional)
Directions:
- In a well-greased cupcake pan, place one square of chocolate chip cookie dough, and bake according to directions.
- Allow cookies to cool completely and remove them from cupcake pan.
- In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in vanilla extract and powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Using a piping bag or zip lock bag with a small corner snipped, gently squeeze a circle of Cool Whip into the center of the chocolate chip cup, and in circular motion apply steady pressure working up to a point. Release pressure on piping bag, and in a swift motion, push down gently and pull up on the bag to create a peak at the top.
- Decorate snowmen with candy sprinkles.

You aren’t limited to using only chocolate chip cookie dough in these great Snowman Cups. You can easily use your favorite cookie dough as a base. Sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies, oatmeal raisin or the wonderful white chocolate macadamia nut cookies that are so popular too. And if you get a little inventive you can separate your whipped cream into 2-3 bowls and add a few drops of red or green food coloring to create a multicolored Christmas tree or more holiday themed topper.
