PEPPERMINT MUFFIN-TIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Beat the sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer, or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and peppermint extracts and the egg. Turn the mixer to low speed, add the flour mixture and mix until completely incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove half of the dough and set aside. Add 5 to 6 drops of the red food coloring to the remaining dough in the mixer bowl and mix on low speed until completely incorporated.
• Alternating between the red and white doughs, spoon 8 heaping 1/4 teaspoon-sized pieces of dough (4 red and 4 white) into the bottom of each of the 12 cups of a standard muffin tin. Press to flatten the dough so the red and white pieces intermingle and form a slight tie-dye look. Place 1 frozen peppermint patty on top of and in the middle of each dough round, pressing very gently into the dough but making sure it does not break through and touch the bottom of the pan. Spoon 8 more heaping 1/4 teaspoon-sized pieces of dough (4 red and 4 white), alternating the colors, on top of each peppermint patty and press to flatten and completely cover the peppermint patties.
• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the red and white sprinkles on top of the dough in each muffin cup to completely cover it. Refrigerate until the dough is firm, about 1 hour (or freeze until firm, about 20 minutes).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until the edges are just starting to turn golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then use an offset spatula to remove the cookies from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

MUFFIN MIX COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes (if you don't have a mixer, you can use a bowl and wooden spoon/spatula).
• Mix egg and vanilla extract into the butter (don't worry if your mixture looks a little runny).
• Add the muffin mix to the butter mixture and mix until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
• Scoop about 2 Tbsp of cookie dough (I use a #40 cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake for 11-13 minutes, until cookies are just turning golden around the edges, but are still soft. Let cookies cool in the pan for a couple minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.

• BAKE 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
• WHISK powdered sugar and just enough milk to make a smooth glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

COOKIE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven, 375.
• In SMALL bowl combine flour and baking soda, mix.
• Set aside.
• In the medium bowl beat sugar, yogurt, and vanilla till mixed.
• Add egg and mix again.
• Stir in the flour mixture until well blended and sticky.
• Place sticky little rolls on cookie sheet (mine was ungreased, but greased would probably work better) and sift sugar and cinnamon over top.
• Leave in for about 5 minutes and then CHECK.
• Check often until the little peaky tops (which most of them will have) are slightly browned.
• They are wonderful straight out of the oven, I don't know how they are after a while, cause we ate them-- hehehe.

MUFFIN TOP COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400° F. In medium bowl, beat milk, oil and egg with fork. Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder and salt just until moistened. Stir in 1/2 cup of the baking chips and 1/2 cup of the almonds.
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
• Place remaining 1/4 cup baking chips and 1 teaspoon shortening in microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on Medium-High (70%) about 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until chips can be stirred smooth. Drizzle over warm muffin tops. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup almonds, pressing slightly into melted chips.
