Cannoli Sugar Cookie Cups

Simple & delicious go to a whole new level with these Cannoli Sugar Cookie Cups. Easy sugar cookie cups topped with cannoli filling & chocolate chips. YUM!

Do you love a good pastry? I sure do. Whenever we can stop in a little specialty pastry shop I always get a variety of goodies to take home & enjoy over a couple days. I especially love it when I can get there on a Friday so that I have treats to have along with my coffee over the weekend while we read the paper. Those seem to be the best weekends when we have little on the calendar & we can just snack, sip & read until lunch time. Sigh…… that doesn’t happen all that often. Guess that’s why I love & cherish it so much.

So since we don’t get to do that all that often, I decided to create a little cannoli like treat to have one weekend. These are a sugar cookie cup, topped with cannoli filling & sprinkled with extra mini chocolate chips & confectioners sugar. Oh my word – so delicious.

So if you love a good cannoli & sugar cookies, you have to give this twist a try.

You will be so happy you did!
