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!
Wookies! How cute! Will have to try these out.
