Chocolate Cookie Muffins

March 9, 2015 By Jelli 2 Comments

Nothing beats a chocolate cookie muffin with crunchy chocolate cookie chunks in every bite!

Chocolate Cookie Muffins | Jellibeanjournals.comPutting chocolate sandwich cookies into muffins? GENIUS! Cookies in cupcakes– been there, done that. Oreo cheesecake- checkity check. Cookie cup cheesecakes- yesterday’s news. But muffins filled with crunchy cookie gobs, that’s a whole new story!

Chocolate Cookie Muffins (with OREOS!) | Jellibeanjournals.comStudded with cookies and topped with those same delicious chocolate cookies, you’d almost think this was a cupcake, but it’s not. In fact, the muffin batter doesn’t include much sugar and the crumb is dense, as a proper muffin should be. Of course, I’m not bold enough to say we should serve chocolate cookie muffins for breakfast, but they sure taste grand with a cup of coffee to get you over the afternoon energy slump.

      Yup, I’d love to have taken credit for the genius idea of stuffing cookies into muffins, but it actually came from an old magazine clipping. Hope you give it a try, Chelsea.
