Salted Caramel Mousse ROLO Cookie Cups are duly noted for two things.  *ahem*

Birthdays and devouring. 

Are you ready to party?  They make enough for a party and then some!

All you do is use a mini muffin pan, nothing too outrageous or fancy!  

I mean, who could resist these little gooey cookie cups loaded with mini chocolate chips, ROLOs and a fluffy caramel mousse filling?  Not I… Boy was that the truth!  

Salted Caramel Mousse ROLO Cookie Cups

 I actually made these for my daughter, Amber.  She turned 18 yesterday and she’s a senior this year. And what kind of mother would I be if I didn’t bake something a little special for her birthday?  

Why do they grow so fast?  This fall, she’ll be off to Purdue.  *sniffle* 

Salted Caramel Mousse ROLO Cookie Cups

We went out to celebrate at an authentic Indian Restaurant for a little change-up.  It was so delicious.  I ate way too much of that Naan and Roti bread. OMG…stop me already, would ya?  

I’m addicted to bread. And chocolate.  When I die, they’ll say, yes she was sooo addicted to chocolate and I might very well be covered in chocolate bars.  Who knows??  

Salted Caramel Mousse ROLO Cookie Cups

If you’re a huge fan of cookie cups, these are perfect for birthdays, celebrations, small bite desserts and you can change the mousse cream flavor up with chocolate ice cream topping or even a few tablespoons of peanut butter.  

 

Are you a cookie dough lover?  How about cookie dough upon cookie dough?  You could use small scoops of  this chocolate chip cookie dough recipe in place of the mousse, which would be soo yummy too! 

And feel free to eat them naked without frosting or mousse!  🙂

Salted Caramel Mousse ROLO Cookie Cups

I love it these cups are so versatile, so are you ready for this?

For even taking it up one more notch, lightly drizzle some caramel on top of each cookie with a light sprinkle of sea salt.  Oh YES I did!  Here’s a  recipe for Salted Caramel if you want to make it home-made!  Naked or with the caramel mousse. 

Hope you enjoy these Caramel Cheesecake Mousse ROLO Cookie Cups for your next party affair or holiday tray of goodies.  OH…and don’t forget birthdays. EVER!

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

    My grandkids would love these! Their birthday has just passed so I’ll have to make up another reason to make these other than I just want to eat some. They turned 13 this year. Ugh! I’m not old enough to have 13 year old grandkids! Oh…I guess I am.

      I can relate Julie! I’m a grandma too and no matter how old they are, we’re offically labeled as ‘grandmas’! 🙂 The grandkids would totally love these but I’m sure it won’t be hard to find an excuse to make another batch. LOL! Happy New Year! xo

    Do I press the cookie dough into each
    cup or just spoon it into the tin and then
    it forms when the Rolo is placed in the middle?

      You just spoon it in and then press the rolos in after they have baked. 🙂 Enjoy!!

      I left them out a couple of days, but sealed them well and they were fine. I think if you did refrigerate them, let them come to room temperature for the best texture. I’m so glad you are enjoying them Shelly!
