Sugar Cookie Fruit Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 6 individual baking dishes (ramekins) with cooking spray. Slice 6 thin slices (approximately 1/4 inch thick) from cookie dough; wrap remaining dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for another use.
• Place one dough slice in bottom of each ramekin; push out dough to cover bottom and halfway up side of ramekins.
• Place ramekins on cookie sheet; bake 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in small skillet mix peach pieces, pear pieces, cinnamon and brown sugar; cook and stir, over medium heat, until sauce begins to thicken.
• Remove ramekins from oven; cool 30 minutes.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons yogurt into each sugar cookie crust. Top with fruit mixture.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix cookie mix, softened butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Stir in 1/4 cup candy sprinkles. Shape into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls. Place in mini muffin cups. Press indentation in center of each with end of wooden spoon.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately repeat indentation into center of each cookie with end of clean wooden spoon to make 1-inch opening, cleaning off end with paper towel when needed. Cool in pan 20 minutes. Loosen edges with small knife if needed. Remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
• In small bowl, place half of the frosting. Tint red with food color. Place large piping bag fitted with medium star tip on its side. Using large icing spatula, spoon remaining vanilla frosting so it covers half of the length of side of piping bag. Carefully spoon red tinted frosting on top. Insert tip into indentation in each cookie cup. Squeeze bag to fill opening, and pipe about 2 heaping teaspoons per cookie cup. Sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons sprinkles. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
