Mini Marshmallows, or big ones cut into tiny pieces
Candy Canes, optional
Pretzels
3-4tbspmelted white chocolate
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350℉ / 180℃ and grease your muffin tray well with cooking spray or butter; set aside.
Take a large bowl and add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mix and keep aside.
Next, using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high, scraping down the sides till the mixture turns light, creamy, and fluffy (2-3 mins).
Add the egg and beat till incorporated well.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in batches and mix till the dough is formed (the dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl).
Take about 3 tbsp of the cookie dough and put them in muffin tins, press down slightly.
Bake for 18-20 mins, or till you see little browning on the sides.
Once baked, immediately use a spoon or the back of a spatula to press down in the center to create a well for chocolate ganache. Make sure to create a big enough space for the filling.
Let it cool in the pan for around 10 minutes then gently pop them out.
Chocolate Filling:
Warm the cream for about 20-25 seconds in the microwave and pour it over the dark chocolate and leave it untouched for about 5 mins.
Gently mix till the chocolate melts completely.
Assembly:
Break the Pretzels into half, and dip one side of it in melted white chocolate, press it to the side of each cookie cup, and hold for around 30-40 seconds until the white chocolate is solid.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cookie cups using either a spoon or a frosting bag (If the filling gets too solid, just pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds).
Top it up with some mini marshmallows and some candy canes.
Serve immediately and Enjoy!
