Zesty
Orange Cookie Cups
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter,
softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups (12-ounce package) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE®
Premier White Morsels
2 large eggs
1 (14-ounce) can NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Sweetened
Condensed Milk
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon grated orange peel (1 medium orange)
- Preheat oven to 350°F
(175°C). Grease 48 mini-muffin cups.
- Beat butter and sugar
in medium mixer bowl until creamy. Add flour; beat until mixture
is evenly moist, crumbly and can be formed into balls. Shape
dough into 1-inch balls. Press each ball onto bottom and up side
of prepared muffin cups to form wells. Place 5 morsels in each
cup.
- Beat eggs in medium bowl
with wire whisk. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and orange
extract. Spoon almost a measuring tablespoon of mixture into
each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes
or until centers are puffed and edges are just beginning to brown.
Upon removing from oven, gently run knife around each cup. While
still warm, top each cup with 8 to 10 morsels (they will soften
and retain their shape). Cool completely in pans on wire racks.
With tip of knife, remove cookie cups from muffin pans. Top with
grated orange peel just before serving. Store in covered container
in refrigerator.
Makes 48 cookie cups.
