For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the cookie dough. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before using. If you don't have miniature muffin tins, you can use regular-sized muffin tins, but you'll need to adjust the baking time accordingly. Feel free to experiment with different fruit preserves, such as raspberry or strawberry. Toasted coconut flakes can be used for garnish.

Follow The Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, confectioners' sugar, and cornstarch. Mix until just combined, forming a soft dough. Avoid overmixing. (5 minutes)
02
Step
30 mins
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the butter to firm up. (30 minutes)

Roll the chilled dough into small, even balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Gently press each ball into the bottom and up the sides of each prepared muffin cup, creating a small well. (20 minutes)

Spoon apricot preserves into each cookie cup, filling them about 3/4 full. (15 minutes)
