These little cookie cups are so yummy! Decorated with chocolate frosting and a dipped strawberry hat, these treats are perfect for a holiday movie night!
Preheat oven to 350°F and add liners to mini muffin pan. If you don't have liners, spray pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Break apart cookie dough and add one piece to each muffin cup.
Add to oven and bake for 13-15 minutes or until cooked through.
While the cookies are baking, wash and dry strawberries and slice off the tops of strawberries so you have a straight edge on the large side of your strawberry.
Add the green melting chocolate to a bowl and microwave with a little bit of Crisco until smooth. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Push a fork into the large side of a strawberry, then turn it over and dip into the green melted chocolate.
Allow excess to drip back into the bowl and transfer strawberry to a wax paper lined platter to dry. To do this, gently slide the large side of the strawberry off the fork and allow to dry so it looks like the hat is right side up. Repeat for each strawberry.
When the cookies are done, use a tablespoon to push the cookies into a cup shape and set aside to cool in the pan.
In a large bowl, stir together chocolate and vanilla frosting and add to a piping bag with a star tip.
Now melt the yellow chocolate in the same way as the green.
Dip the green strawberries in yellow chocolate to create the yellow band.
Once these are set, dip the strawberries in the green one more time. Be sure not to cover all of the yellow. (you may need to reheat the green chocolate).
While the strawberries set, pipe the chocolate frosting onto each cookie cup.
Finally, add a dot of yellow chocolate to the strawberry and attach your red candy for the feather.
Place dipped strawberries on top of the frosted cookies and enjoy!

See post for detailed images of the process. It's a lot of little steps but they are not difficult. Note: If you want to use mini muffins or cupcakes, feel free to skip the cookie part.
