Ingredients:

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE CUPS

• ½ cup butter, melted
• 1 cup packed brown sugar (208 grams)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 160 grams all-purpose flour (1 ¼ cups)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE

• 8 ounces white chocolate chips (1 ⅓ cups)
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream (60 grams)

TOPPINGS

• 13.4 ounces Dulce de Leche
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and thoroughly grease 36 mini muffin cups with non-stick baking spray.
2. Create the Cookie Base: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar until well mixed. Add the egg and vanilla, stirring until completely incorporated.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Gradually blend this mixture into your wet ingredients until just combined.
4. Form the Cups: Carefully scoop 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into each greased mini muffin cup, ensuring even distribution.
5. Bake to Perfection: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. The edges should turn lightly golden brown, and the tops should appear set.
6. Cool and Shape: Let the cookies cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, turn the pan upside down and gently tap the edge on the counter to release the cups.
7. Prepare the Ganache: In a small saucepan over LOW heat, combine white chocolate and heavy cream. Stir frequently until about 75% melted, then remove from heat.
8. Fill and Decorate: Once the ganache has cooled and firmed slightly, fill each cup with the mixture. Top with swirls of Dulce de Leche and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
