Miniature Salted Caramel Cookie Cupcakes

Hey-a everyone! It’s Chelsea from Chelsea’s Messy Apron. Happy OFFICIAL Fall! I couldn’t be more excited that it’s Fall since it’s completely my favorite season. I have had pumpkin everything on my blog lately…Oh and tons and tons of apples! But today, I thought I should take a break from all the pumpkin and apple cider and bring you all some super easy miniature cookie cupcakes. But these aren’t just any cookie cupcakes – they are stuffed with salted caramel (my favorite) and studded with milk chocolate chips. Oh, and did I mention, they have some butterscotch flavoring too? I’m sure you guys will love these!! To make these miniature cookie cups, you will start with a miniature muffin tin. You’ll want to really grease the tin well with non-stick spray. Don’t use cupcake liners, as the cookies stick to those and aren’t removed well after baking. Then you will mix up the cookie dough. To increase the butterscotch flavor, I added a package of butterscotch pudding. The pudding gives these cookies a heightened butterscotch flavor and also make the cookies a lot softer. By adding pudding to cookies it makes them more moist and keeps them softer for longer. Another ingredient which increases the softness of these cookies is cornstarch. Just a small amount goes a long way! Cornstarch also helps to lift the cookie and makes it puff up more in the muffin tin. The caramel and butterscotch together are AMAZING! And then with a few chocolate chips pressed into the top of the cookie and a sprinkle of sea salt – yeah; pretty much a perfect dessert! Enjoy 🙂
