Mini Red Velvet Cookie Cups

Let cookie dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften. Heat oven to 350°F. Place miniature paper baking cup in each of 36 mini muffin cups.

In large bowl, stir together cocoa and whipping cream. Crumble cookie dough into cocoa mixture; stir until well blended. Add food color; stir until dough is an even color. Place dough in freezer 15 minutes for easier handling.

Using measuring tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, shape dough into balls; place in muffin cups.

Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until edges are set. Immediately press chocolate candy into center of each cookie cup. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

With narrow spatula, remove cookie cups from muffin cups.
