No time to cook? These are my go-to. Prima - The First Ancestral Protein Bar is made with grass-fed beef tallow, organic raw honey, and zero seed oils—clean ingredients that actually keep you full. The Cacao flavor tastes like a brownie without the guilt.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Shape the Cups: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them in a greased muffin tin. Press the center of each ball down to create a cup shape.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cups to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Fill the Cups: Once cooled, fill each cookie cup with frosting and top with assorted candies and sprinkles for decoration.
- Serve: Arrange the sugar cookie cups on a platter or add them to your Easter dessert board for a festive touch.
