Cookie Shots are a super fun way to spice up any special occasion. And they aren’t just for kids! Adults love them too. This Cookie Shot Glass Recipe is sure to become a staple at all your celebrations.
I like to serve these for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. There really aren’t many times that a cookie shot wouldn’t be a hit. You can serve them with alcohol or without, making them perfect for everyone.
One of my favorite things to do is to make the cookie shot glasses ahead of time and take them with us on weekend trips. Everyone gets so excited when we serve these as an after-dinner desert/aperitif.
I used the Wilton Chocolate Chip Cookie Glass Recipe as my base but I had to make some adjustments.

- Be sure to use miniature chocolate chips.
- Your cookies will have small cracks on the side. This is completely normal.
- To release the cookie from the mold, insert fingers in the cavity and twist gently. It should release relatively easily.
- If the tops aren’t perfectly level when you cut them, don’t worry. Once you add the chocolate, it will barely be noticeable.
