Mini S’mores Cups
 
Makes about 24
Ingredients
  • 1 (16.5-ounce) package prescored sugar cookie dough squares
  • 1 cup milk chocolate morsels
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 egg whites
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 1 (24-cup) mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Press cookie dough squares into muffin cups, making a well in the center of each. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on wire rack before removing from pan.
  2. Place chocolate morsels in a medium heatproof bowl.
  3. In a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, heat cream just until bubbles appear at edge of pan (do not simmer). Pour hot cream over chocolate; cover, and let rest for 2 minutes. Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. Spoon or pipe mixture into cooled cookie cups, and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
  5. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites at high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and vanilla. With mixer running, add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
  6. Spoon meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a medium round tip and pipe onto ganache-filled cookie cups. Using a handheld kitchen torch, carefully brown meringue. Serve immediately.
