Have You Tried Mookies?

Last year my youngest asked me to make mookies. I honestly did not know what he was talking about. He said they were ‘muffin-cookies‘. So I looked for a recipe and found this one online.

Turns out mookies (a.k.a. ‘muffin tops’) are delicious! We’ve been making them ever since. They’re great add-ins to lunches and after school snacks.

 

The following recipe was adapted from food.com

• Prep time: 5 minutes
• Baking time: 20 minutes
• Servings: 20 mookies

Ingredients

1 cup melted unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Make these simple changes to easily turn your mookies into Wookies!
1. Reduce the amount of flour to 3/4 cup

2. Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder

3. Substitute the raisins with 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

Freeze & store

• You can freeze mookies raw and bake them later.
• You can bake mookies, then freeze them (up to 3 weeks).

If baked, then frozen, simply microwave them for 20 seconds and voilà… tasty as the day they came out of the oven.

 

Happy baking!
