It’s the best part of every muffin! For those who like to eat the tops off of muffins and leave the rest, I give you Muffin Top Cookies with semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
It’s Monday so usually that means muffins are baking at my house but today Muffin Monday and Cookie Week collide in a subtly spectacular fashion with Muffin Top Cookies. All the best of both worlds!
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that Cookie Week is the fabulous five-day celebration hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Susan of The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen, who, by the way, also has a commercial kitchen and will ship her delicious cookies right to your door. I participated in the inaugural Cookie Week last year and it was such fun that I begged, "please, pretty please," to be allowed to take part again. It's a great group of bakers – a dozen all told – and we'll be bringing you delicious cookies all week long!
Ingredients for about 2 dozen cookies
3/4 cup or 140g semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup or 60g chopped pecans
1 2/3 cups or 210g flour
3/4 cup or 150g sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup or 120ml milk
1/3 cup or 80ml canola or other light oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Method
Preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C and prepare your cookie sheets by lining them with parchment or silicone liners.
Measure out your chocolate chips and pecans then set aside a small handful of each to decorate the tops of the cookies before baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour, sugar, baking powder, chopped pecans and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together your milk, oil, egg and vanilla.
Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ones and stir until just mixed.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spoon about 2 level tablespoons of dough, at 2 in or 4cm apart, onto your prepared cookie sheets. I like to use a two-tablespoon scoop, which makes the process so much easier.
Poke a few of the reserved chocolate chips and pieces of pecan into the top of each.
Bake the muffin top cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown. Cool for a couple of minutes and then use a spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
These turn out cakey and very much like a muffin top! Enjoy!
Are you ready for some more warm COOKIES?!
