A quick and easy fun treat for a tailgate party or the holidays. Years ago, a close friend always baked her chocolate chip cookies in a mini-muffin pan to share when we took our children to the swimming pool. She told me it was like baking cookies on a cookie sheet - just test for doneness. Glad I gave it a try.

How To Make mini-muffin tin chocolate chip cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Use PAM Baking Spray to inside of the mini-muffin pan.

Step 2

In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3

With an electric mixer, beat white sugar, brown sugar, and butter together until creamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating slightly after each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat again for a couple seconds.
Step 4

Add flour mixture slowly until mixed. Then stir in semi-sweet mint chocolate chips.
Step 5

Chill dough in mixing bowl for about 20 minutes before forming into small balls (about 1-inch). Now place in mini-muffin tin and add 2 to 4 mini chips or pecan nut on top and press slightly to fit pan.
Step 6

Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until done (edges start to brown). Remove from oven and cool in mini-muffin tin for 10 minutes. You may need to use a small knife or thin spatula to remove cookies from pan.
Step 7

TIP: If using this recipe to bake regular cookies on a cookie sheet, increase time: 9 to 11 minutes.
