All you do is use a mini muffin pan
I mean, who could resist these little gooey cookie cups loaded with mini chocolate chips
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*
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??
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
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! 🙂
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!
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter , room temperature
- 1 cup light or dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 24 ROLOs
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- 1/2 box instant vanilla pudding or approx 4 tablespoons
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- Sprinkles , Mini Chocolate Chips, Drizzles of Caramel Sauce, Sea Salt, if desired.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a mini muffin pan.

With an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Mix in the egg, then vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined. Add the mini chocolate chips.

Fill mini muffin pan cups half full. Bake until edges are golden but center is still soft, about 11-12 minutes. Let cool in the pan about 5 minutes, then push rolos in each of the cups upside down, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (Don't overbake unless you want crispy.)

Beat heavy cream, salted caramel sauce, confectioners’ sugar, and pudding mix in medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Pipe into cooled cookie cups and top with your favorite toppings.
Love it ! Thank you so much !
Happy Birthday to your daughter Kim! My daughter is gonna be a fresh man this year and I’m already freaking out about the college part. I’ve never baked with Rolo candy, but sounds like a great option – love the ooey gooey part, YUM. Have a great weekend!
Maria, there’s a lot to freak out about that’s for sure…LOL! Well the Rolo’s taste the same, but it’s enrobed with all the other goodies. I wasn’t sure if they would melt or what but they kept their shape and Yes. YUM! Hope you have a great weekend as well!! <3
Haha, they could say worse things about you than that you were addicted to chocolate :). These look AMAZING! Caramel mousse? Yes please! Not a chance I would eat these beauties naked!
Kelsie, you crack me up and now that you’ve brought that to my attention, yes they could say worse things and now I’m scared?? 🙂 Have a great weekend!!
I hope your daughter had a great birthday! And you must be one proud momma that she is going to Purdue! That’s awesome! Ok. So these cookie cups….I’m dying!! This girl loves her some Rolos! I think I would add the cookie dough because I am a cookie dough freak!! Loving this recipe Kim!! Xoxo
Thank you, we are very proud of her! Yes cookie dough lovers are going to pick the cookie dough! That’s what makes these so fun and yummy! <3
I love the name of your blog, it is so cute. I know how you feel about chocolate, if it was up to me , it would be listed as the most important food group,😋
WOW ROLO, I love melting it to make chocolate sauce for ice cream, This is such a divine way to use it. I am going to have to try it.
Happy Birthday to your daughter ,I am sure she had a great day😊 Have a lovely weekend.
Awww…thank you so much Ashika. She did have a great birthday and yes chocolate is the most important for sure!!
These look to die for! Rolos are my favorite candy. Actually I’m a sucker for anything with caramel. These are going on my must make list!
These are definitely calling your name Cassie! Enjoy! <3
Do you keep these in the fridge or are they OK to be left out? They are delish!!
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!
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!!
Thank you , I will be making them today for my daughter and a Happy Mother’s Day to you.
Aww thank you! Happy MOther’s Day to you too!
