Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray two 12-cup muffin pans with cooking spray.
  2. Take the Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough and portion into 24 equal pieces, placing one into each muffin well, pressing down slightly to form a base.
  3. Bake the cookie cups for about 10-14 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  4. Remove from oven and let them sit for a minute, then press down the center of each cookie cup with a shot glass to create a basket shape.
  5. Allow the cookie cups to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat the salted butter until fluffy using a mixer, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar, then heavy whipping cream and vanilla, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  7. Pipe the creamy vanilla buttercream into the center of each cooled cookie cup.
  8. Finish by decorating with Hershey’s Chocolate Eggs on top of the frosting, pressing them gently into the buttercream.
  9. Serve and enjoy your Easter Basket Sugar Cookie Cups!
