Strawberry Cookie Cups

I love taking recipes that we love and making them just a little different by adding or changing an ingredient, or even just changing the cooking method or overall presentation.  Last week I shared my strawberry cake mix cookies that I made for Valentine's Day, and this week I've got some other sweet creations that I made using the same recipe: Strawberry Cookie Cups!

Recipe for Strawberry Cookie Cups:

Ingredients:

1 Strawberry Cake Mix (18.5 oz)

1 egg

1/3 cup water

1/3 cup oil

Directions: Mix ingredients together with spoon or electric mixer. Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups. Use a cookie scoop to place a dough ball in each cup. (For mine, I used one scoop for each cup, but if you want them to rise to the top like cupcakes, use 2 scoops.  If using a mini tin, one scoop should do fine.  If you don't have a cookie scoop, use a spoon or your hands to create a 2 inch balls for the large cupcakes.)

Bake for about 15 minutes. Then decorate as desired. For my cups, I left some plain, while others are topped with either sprinkles, coconut flakes, or a Hershey Kiss.  You could also frost these like cupcakes, even though they're not exactly cake like.  Just wait for them to cool before frosting.
