Cookie Shot Glass Recipe | Alex and Felix Recipes

As decided in last weeks rum cake video, this week is a very special Alex driven episode. Cookie shot glasses were popular online a few years ago and remain a well known dessert. The cookie, which is more of a shortbread, is molded into a shot glass, and coated with tempered chocolate to create a barrier for milk to be poured into the cookie without the whole thing breaking down.

Recipe:
1 cup shortening
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini M&Ms or mini chocolate chips
6 ounces of dark chocolate

Directions:
- Cream the shortening and butter together in a mixing bowl.

- Mix in the egg yolk, vanilla, and salt until combined.

- Add in the flour and mix until a sand like texture is formed.

- Switch to your hands and knead the dough. The dough should clump together under pressure.

- Oil your shot glasses and press the dough into the bottom and onto the sides of the glass.

- Bake at 350 for ~20 mins or until golden. Let cool until firm before removing.

- Temper the chocolate in the microwave. Melt the chocolate for 30 seconds, remove and stir, 30 seconds, remove and stir, and then in 10 minute bursts until just melted.

- Coat the inside of the cookie completely and let cool and firm before adding any filling to the cookie.
