  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup pink champagne
  • 1 to 2 drops red food color

  • White candy sprinkles, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Remove cookie dough rounds from tray. Place 1 cookie dough round in each muffin cup. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown.
  • 3
    Using end of wooden spoon, carefully press into center of each baked cookie to make 1-inch-wide indentation. Remove cookies from muffin cups onto cooling rack. Cool while making Champagne Buttercream.
  • 4
    In medium bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar while beating 1 to 2 minutes. Add champagne and enough food color to create pink champagne buttercream; beat 1 to 2 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  • 5
    Fill each cooled cookie cup with about 1 tablespoon champagne cream. Decorate tops with candy sprinkles.

  • For a more finished looking dessert, pipe frosting from a decorating bag into the cups.
  • Sparkling grape juice can replace the champagne for a nonalcoholic version of the buttercream.
