How should I store these Salted Caramel Cookie Cups?
If you are have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container.
I usually put them in my pantry or on my counter in an airtight container for up to three days.
We don’t recommend making these ahead of time and freezing them.
The caramel doesn’t really get back to it’s original softness when you do this.

It's impossible to go wrong with salted caramel! These bite-sized cookies look scrumptious, but also super simple!

Sherry says:
Do you leave the dough in a ball shape,or mold it into a cup shape in the mini muffin tin? It appears as though the Carmel is the center of a cookie cup.
-
Cyd says:
You leave it in a ball shape.
-
Jenny says:
Do you use baking soda? The ingredients call for it, but it is not in the directions.
-
Cyd says:
Hi Jenny. Thanks for letting us know that the baking soda was left out of the recipe directions. This recipe does have baking soda. We made the correction. Thank you!

Abbey Moldenhauer says:
Could i use a store bought sugar cookie dough instead? These look amazing!!
-
Cyd says:
Hi Abbey. We haven't used store bought sugar cookie dough for this recipe. But I'm sure it would work too. Let us know how it all turns out.

Lori Holt says:
Can you freeze these cookies?
-
Cyd says:
You can freeze these cookies if you use an airtight freezer container.
-
Lynn says:
Wow, I am totally confused. I can't image leaving the dough in a ball. It seems it should be pressed around the edges of the cups to make a shell. Please explain how it works to leave the dough in a ball.
-
Cyd says:
Place a cookie ball in each muffin tin section. They'll sink a little when baking and when you pull them out of the oven. You only add a small dollop of caramel onto the cookie tops so it doesn't run over the edges. Hope this helps you. They are absolutely delicious!

Annie says:
Excited to try this. Can I use regular milk, not evaporated milk with the caramel?
-
Momma Cyd says:
Evaporated milk is going to work best. We have not yet tried it using regular milk.
-
Chris Dudley says:
Can you explain how many the recipe makes? We thought 24 but we had so much dough left after making the 24 balls. Thought maybe it was 24 servings with 2 being the serving size? Did we make our dough balls too small?
-
Momma Cyd says:
We got about 24 cookie cups. If your cups are a little smaller you will get more than 24.
