Cookie Dough Muffins Tops with Chocolate Streusel – Guest Post!

adapted from Pillsbury

Ingredients

For the muffin tops:

  • 1 roll 16.5 ounces refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup milk

For the chocolate streusel:

  • 5 Tablespoons butter melted
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder

Instructions

Directions for muffin tops:

  1. Let cookie dough stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften. Heat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.
  3. In the bowl of your mixer beat cookie dough and cream cheese until combined. Add egg, vanilla, and milk. Slowly add the dry ingredients that you had set aside. This will yield a thick batter.
  4. Drop batter by heaping Tablespoons (or use a large cookie scoop) 1 to 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  5. Sprinkle with streusel topping and bake 15 minutes until edges begin to brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to cooling racks. Yield: 12 large muffin tops

Directions for chocolate streusel:

  1. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the dry ingredients on top.
  2. Incorporate the dry ingredients with your FINGERS until the mixture is moist and crumbly. If you stir it with a spoon it will congeal into a huge ball of goo.

Recipe Notes

Baking times will vary depending on how big your muffin tops are. If you are having difficulty judging if they are finished bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
