One of my favorite memories from childhood is packing up the stash of homemade treats we would take with us on road trips. Sometimes, we barely got out of the driveway before the good stuff came out.
These little cookies feature all the things we love about chocolate chip cookies in a bite-size form. Lots of chewy cookie enveloping chocolate chips and toasted nuts. Just don’t be surprised if they don’t last that long.

Is this photo incorrect? How can two teaspoons of a batter turn into a full liner of what looks like a muffin? Am i missing something here?
Hi Abbie,
The photo is correct. These are mini muffins.
Mini muffins are about 1.5″, correct? They are also know as petit four cups. There are 100 per package in the ones I have. That is a common size liner that can be purchased at most kitchen stores. I’ve purchased mine at Sur La Table.
Going to try these this evening!!
This sounds like a great recipe for a bite size snack. Thank you.
The recipe is great and I want to thank you for it. It will make a great snack for some friends.
The mini muffin pans are wonderful…I buy my mini liners at Wal-mart. I also use them for Christmas candies

We recommend liners for the best results. If you don’t use them, be sure to grease the muffin tin very well.
