Small Batch of Chewy Mini Muffin-Cookies
"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!!!"

Wow! This is the first samll batch recipe I've tried that came out PERFECT- thank you so much!!!!! It's so easy to customize and adapt to any diet- it works gluten-free, wheat-free, sugar-free and low calorie. It's a fantastic recipe, thanks a lot!!!!! -
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.

<p>I'm an American living in Cairo, have lots of free time and love to cook! My friend told me I know the science of food, that I am a food scientist; I was like what??? She said that I put together ingredients that she would never think of, that I know what goes with what, what tastes and works... honestly I really don't know about that, but I do love cooking. I like experimenting and making delicious, but simple meals. I love fresh ingredients, spices and enjoy preparing food for friends. I am so pleased when I see the enjoyment they get from my food. Please be patient with my recipe posts, some may seem lengthy, but I like to explain well so you will get it the first time. I appreciate this from others, so I hope you will too. Also, I never measure anything, so I will try my best to give measurements that will work for you. Anyway, enjoy my recipes on food.com!</p>
