Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups {recipe}

One of the things I love to do is be in the kitchen with Clara.. and she always enjoys being my helper, too.  It's something fun that we can do together and I love getting her involved with cooking dinner or baking when I can.  Of course I think she likes baking the best, but who can blame her?  She has a sweet tooth just like her mama.  ;)  I'm a lover of the classics, so I thought these Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups filled with some vanilla ice cream would be a perfect mother-daughter kitchen creation!

All you need for these is a package of Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, muffins tins & liners (I found it easiest to get them out of the tin if they have liners), your favorite vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and any of your favorite toppings.

I took a small cookie scoop and put one scoop into each muffin liner and gently pressed them down.  I baked them in a 350 F oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are browned.  Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes and then cool on a wire rack the rest of the way.  The centers will sink down as they cool.

Aren't they just adorable.. who doesn't like a cute dessert?  They would be fun for birthdays or just for a special treat!  And using the Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough just makes it so much more quick and easy (especially for this extremely pregnant and tired mama).

Thanks to Nestle Toll House for sponsoring this post and inspiring me to make a fun treat with my little one!
