This Peppermint Mocha Truffle Cookie Cup recipe was sponsored by Starbucks® but the opinions are completely my own based on my experience.
Food and beverage pairings are one of those things we foodies love doing, but many people feel overwhelmed by. It honestly isn't as tricky as some like to make it out to be, but it is nice when someone has already made the pairing for you. For your convenience, I'm sharing four pairings of Starbucks® and Lindt chocolate perfect for your gift giving and holiday entertaining needs, as well as a Peppermint Mocha Truffle Cookie Cups recipe, which makes use of one pairing.
Peppermint Mocha Truffle Cookie Cups
These Peppermint Mocha Truffle Cookie Cups are quite the holiday treat. The cookie bottom is flavored by VIA Peppermint Mocha then topped with Peppermint White Chocolate Truffles, so the festive chocolate and peppermint flavor runs throughout the treat. Find the recipe below.

Pick a Perfect Pairing
As I mentioned, the pairing work has already been done for us. These Starbucks/Lindt combinations have been taste-tested to match-up well. Doesn't that make assembling gifts and holiday entertaining so much more simple.

Peppermint Mocha Truffle Cookie Cups: Making
These are actually pretty easy to make, especially since most of the cookie's flavor comes from packets of VIA Instant Peppermint Mocha.
After mixing, the cookie dough is rolled into balls and pressed into mini-muffin pan cups.
They are then baked, re-pressed and topped with the truffles.
