How do I make indentations in the cookie cups?
The best way is to use a tart shaper, a small shot glass, small medicine cup, or a wooden spoon handle. I do this prior to baking them. You will need to do it again, as soon as the pan comes out of the oven. As the cookie cups cool, the shape will stay. Can I make the cookie cups ahead of time?
YES, I have made them the day before I will be filling them. Place in an airtight container and store at room temperature. They can also be frozen in airtight containers or Ziploc bags and keep for about a month.
