Small Batch of Chewy Mini Muffin-Cookies

Submitted by cooking in cairo...

"What a great little, I mean little in quantity, sweet little treat. I adapted this from a One Cookie recipe here on Recipe Zaar. When I made, it made exact amount for two, or four really, but we, two of us, ate all in one night. A great recipe when you don't want to make too much, just right and super quick and simple! Enjoy!!!"

• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 11 mini muffins

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Mix in a bowl butter, sugar, vanilla and water until blended.
3. Stir in flour and salt until well blended.
4. Stir in cinnamon, or any other flavorings, maybe some M&M's, chocolate chips, almond extract, nuts etc.
5. Spray a mini muffin tin with butter flavored cooking spray, drop batter into molds.
6. Bake in oven for 14 minutes, this is what I did and I got chewy centers. If you want harder, perhaps cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.

These are really like little muffin cookies. I was amaized by the texture they had, soft on the inside but a very crisp golden brown on the outside, just like a cookie. I did have alot of trouble with them sticking to the pan, even with a spray coat, but they still tasted great.

Wow! You are good at adapting recipes! Not surprized that your friend says that you know the science of food (read your profile). I was interested in finding "small" anything on recipezaar, so I put "small" in the search box. I have had my mini muffin pans for about 2 years and can't find a single QUICK recipe that requires the use of the pans. Well... not any longer.. I will be using those mini muff pans a lot! My cookies don't look like the ones in the picture - those look smooth and shiny almost like toffee. I added 1/3 cup of chocolate muesli to mine. Yummy! Thanks so much

This deserves 5 stars for being so easy to make and so adaptable and for letting me indulge but not too much! I used the suggested amount of cinnamon which I thought was a bit much but I know for next time. I also used 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. This made exactly 11 mini muffins that baked for about 18 minutes. They ended up with a slightly crispy outside and a buttery sweet chewy inside. Just DELIGHTFUL! I'll be playing with this recipe again. Made for PAC Spring 2007.
