Ingredients

  • 1 packet Pillsbury Ready-to-Bake Sugar Cookies
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 container (5.3 ounce) Yoplait Greek 100, Vanilla Yogurt
  • 1 package (9 ounce) candy lemon drops
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • fresh mint sprigs
  • Betty Crocker red, white, and blue sprinkles

Preparation

Step 1

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2
Place one sugar cookie in each of 24 cups in a nonstick mini muffin tin. Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are slightly browned. Remove and cool completely before twisting each cup gently from the tin.

3
Put lemon drop candies in a blender and blend until reduced to a fine lemon-drop sugar.

4
In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, yogurt, and all but 1/4 cup of the lemon-drop sugar until light and fluffy.

5
Spoon lemon cream cheese filling into the center of each cup. (Or, pipe using a pastry bag fitted with a large, star tip for more decorative flair). Decorate each cup with fresh berries, sprinkles, and mint sprigs. Sprinkle with remaining lemon-drop sugar. Serve immediately, or refrigerate up to 8 hours. Enjoy!
