These Sugar Cookie Fruit Cups are buttery and crisp on the outside, creamy in the center, and juicy on top. They’re easy to customize depending on the season or what you have on hand, and they’re the kind of treat that disappears fast at parties.
The base is simple—just sugar cookie dough pressed into a mini muffin tin. You can use homemade dough if you’ve got it, or grab a store-bought roll and call it a day. Once the cups are baked and cooled, you fill them with a lightly sweetened cream cheese mixture that holds up well and adds the perfect amount of richness.
Helpful Tips
- Let the cookie cups cool fully before removing – They’ll fall apart if you rush it. Use a butter knife to gently loosen them from the edges if needed.
- Don’t overload the fruit – You want a little variety and color, but too much fruit can make them hard to eat or soggy if they sit too long.
- Make ahead, but assemble wisely -You can bake the cookie cups and make the filling a day ahead. Just store everything separately and assemble the day you’re serving to keep them crisp.
