Description

These Ferrero Rocher Cookie Cups combine buttery hazelnut cookie dough with a rich truffle center and a dark chocolate drizzle. Perfect for holidays, gifting, or an indulgent treat, they deliver the signature Ferrero Rocher flavor in a bite-sized dessert that’s easy to make and visually stunning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Nonstick cooking spray: for greasing the muffin tin
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 cup blanched hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 24 Ferrero Rocher chocolate hazelnut truffles
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips for drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick spray and dust lightly with flour.
  2. In a food processor, pulse hazelnuts, sugar, and salt until finely ground. Add flour and pulse to combine.
  3. Add butter cubes and pulse until the mixture begins to clump. Add vanilla extract and egg, pulsing until a dough forms.
  4. Transfer dough to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Divide dough evenly into the muffin cups (about 1 tablespoon each). Press dough up the sides to form cups.
  6. Place one Ferrero Rocher truffle in the center of each dough cup.
  7. Set muffin tin on a baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, rotating halfway through, until edges are golden brown.
  8. Cool completely in the tin before removing cookie cups with a small offset spatula.
  9. Melt dark chocolate chips in 15-second microwave intervals, stirring between each. Transfer to a piping bag and drizzle over cooled cookie cups.
  10. Allow drizzle to set before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Do not overbake — check cookies after 20 minutes for golden edges.
  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and improves texture.
  • Use a high-quality nonstick muffin tin for easier release.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for 3 months.
  • Try adding crushed hazelnuts or edible gold dust for a festive finish.
