Double Chocolate Minis Recipes

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place mini paper baking cup in each of 24 mini muffin cups.
• In medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt with whisk. In small bowl, mix buttermilk, oil, vanilla and egg with whisk. Add buttermilk mixture and chocolate chips to flour mixture, stirring gently until blended. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling full.
• Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MINI KISS COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F
• Beat butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in large bowl until light and fluffy.
• Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
• Stir in chocolates and nuts, if desired. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or just until set.
• Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MINI CUPCAKES

Steps:

• This recipe makes about 50 to 60 miniature cupcakes.
• Line miniature muffin tins with liners (I purchase the mini liners at a craft store that carries cake supplies).
• Preheat oven to 350. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into a bowl and blend.
• Cream butter thoroughly, until very soft. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat for a minute or two. Beat in coffee mixture and vanilla.
• Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
• At low speed, add dry ingredients in three equal additions and milk in two equal additions. In other words, add one third of the dry mixture, then half of the milk, then another one third of the dry ingredients, followed by the rest of the milk, and then the last of the dry ingredients. Scrape down the bowl as needed. The mixture is about the consistency of a thick pudding.
• Stir in the miniature chocolate chips. Pour batter into cups. I fill them pretty close to the top; when they bake, they come over and make a mushroom shape, which is how I like them. If you prefer smaller, then fill accordingly. I have found that using a cookie scoop (looks like a small ice cream scoop, it's for cookie dough) works well to fill the muffin cups without too much mess.
• Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and let cool completely.
• For glaze, put chocolate, butter and cream in top of a double boiler (I just use two pots). Use low heat and stir until mixture is smooth. The glaze doesn't look very chocolate-like until right at the end. Stir completely to make as smooth as possible. Remove from heat and let the glaze cool for five minutes. Spoon glaze on each cupcake and swirl. A miniature rubber spatula works well. The glaze is very shiny, but becomes more fudge-like as it cools.
• Each time I make this recipe, I have glaze left over; you probably could cut it by one fourth, but I've never wanted to take a chance on not having enough. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, the glaze left in the pan is the cook's reward -- have a couple spoonsfuls when you're done!

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, brown sugar, butter, oil, vanilla and eggs until smooth.
• Quickly fold the milk mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer the muffins from the pan to a wire rack to cool.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CINNAMON MINI CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place foil or paper baking cups into 30 mini (1 1/4-inch) muffin pan cups. Set aside.
• Combine sugar and 1/4 cup Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread in large bowl; beat at medium speed until well mixed. Add buttermilk, 1 ounce melted chocolate, egg and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking soda and salt. Beat until well mixed. Add boiling water; continue beating until smooth.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon batter into each prepared muffin pan cups. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.
• Place 1/3 cup Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread and melted chocolate in medium bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa, alternately with whipping cream, beating well after each addition until creamy.
• Pipe or frost each cupcake with about 1 tablespoon frosting; sprinkle with decorator sprinkles, if desired.

ULTIMATE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, cream butter with white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in coffee crystals and vanilla until well blended. Stir in melted chocolate. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the dry ingredients just until everything comes together. Cover, and let stand for 35 minutes so the chocolate can set up.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into walnut sized balls, or drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between cookies.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies will be set, but the centers will still be very soft because of the chocolate. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

MINI DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Break 6 oz. chocolate into small pieces; place in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2 min. or until almost melted; stir until completely melted.
• Separate cookies, leaving half the creme on each cookie piece. Place 1 cookie piece, creme side up, in each of 12 paper-lined muffin cups.
• Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with mixer until blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over cookies in muffin cups.
• Bake 23 to 26 min. or until centers are almost set. Cool completely.
• Break remaining chocolate into small pieces; place in microwaveable bowl. Add COOL WHIP. Microwave 1 min. or until chocolate is almost melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended; spread over cheesecakes. Top with strawberries. Refrigerate 2 hours.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Roll tablespoonfuls of cookie dough into balls and place them 1 inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

3-MINUTE MOLTEN DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

Steps:

• Stir together the oil and sugar in a 12- or 14- ounce ceramic, microwave- safe mug, using a fork. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla, and then the sour cream. Stir in the baking powder and salt, and then the flour and cocoa powder.
• Stir in the chocolate chips and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave (in my microwave, 1 ½ minutes is just about golden). The cake is done when it rises above the edge of the mug (or close to it) and its top looks glossy and set, but not wet.
• Let cool briefly- it will collapse-sorry, but true. The center will be more molten-like than cake-like, very soft, and very hot-be careful! Enjoy ASAP with vanilla ice cream.
