The best desserts are usually the simplest. At least, that’s my opinion. For me, that doesn’t just include dessert recipes, but, all recipes. While I love to bake, sometimes, you need a sweet treat that is easy and hassle free.

These cups? ✘ Easy ✘ Hassle Free ✘ Definitely a sweet treat.

A Short Ingredients List:

  • Pre made chocolate chip cookie dough
  • Caramels
  • Milk

Cookie Dough: You can find pre made cookie dough right in your grocery store. I used a 16 oz package of Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough. The package contains 24 cookies.

Can I Use Another Kind of Cookie?

  • Yes. If you wish to try a sugar cookie, peanut butter cookie, etc, they should work fine. However, your baking time may differ.

How to Make:

  • First, be sure to grease your muffin pan.
  • Then, take two squares of the cookie dough and press them into one well of the muffin pan. Spread out the dough to create a cup. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Bake.
  • Once baked, let them sit in the pan for 5 minutes, then, remove and place on a wire rack to cool.
  • While your cups are cooling, make your caramel sauce.
  • Melt the caramels and milk until smooth. Be sure to stir frequently and do it over low/medium heat. You don’t want to burn them. Also, if your caramel sauce seems really thick, add another tablespoon of milk to help thin it out.
  • Once melted, spoon the caramel into the cookie cups. If you desire to top with sea salt, toffee bits or chocolate syrup, now is the time to do it.
  • Let the caramel sit for at least an hour before serving.
