Notes
Tips: Don’t overfill cups – dough will rise during baking. For easier removal, run butter knife around edges after cooling.
Substitutions: Use white chocolate kisses or caramel-filled chocolates for variety. Gluten-free cookie mix works well too!
Storage: Keep in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months.
