These delicious "cupcakes" are actually made with cookies. When stacked between layers of whipped cream and then chilled, the cookies become cake-like. Fresh fruit adds a festive and colourful touch.

Ingredients

  • Cookies
  • 1 pouch Betty Crocker* sugar cookie mix
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) grated lemon peel
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) finely chopped crystallized ginger
  • Filling
  • 2 cups (500 mL) whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) icing sugar

Steps

  •  
    1
    In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, egg and lemon peel until soft dough forms. Stir in crystallized ginger. Divide dough in half. On waxed paper, shape each half into 8-inch-long roll. Wrap in waxed paper. Freeze about 1 hour or refrigerate about 3 hours until firm enough to slice.

    Heat oven to 350ºF. Using a sharp thin-bladed knife, cut each roll into 32 (1/8-inch-thick) slices. Rotate roll while cutting to prevent flattening. On ungreased cookie sheets, place slices 1 inch apart. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

    In chilled deep small bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. On tray, place 16 cookies right sides up. Spread 1 tablespoon whipped cream on top of each cookie, then top with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and cream, making 4 layers of cookies and ending with a layer of cream. Place each cookie cupcake in a decorative cupcake liners. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours. Garnish with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, if desired.
