Cookie “Muffins”

Fresh Baked Cookies

I was making cookies for a friend the other day and was pressed for time. With one typical sized oven I could do no more then 2 trays at a time which meant about 2 dozen cookies at best. I came up with a plan “B”. I scooped the dough into mini- muffin tins. That made it possible for me to bake 4 dozen cookies at one time. The baking time was the same. I greased the tins to make it easier to get the “cookies” out. It worked great and she loved them. Try it with other cookies. I even thought I might want to press cookie dough into a shell and place something in the middle- like a piece of fruit or perhaps chocolate. Hope you find this a tasty and time saving way to bake your next batch of cookies.
