Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins


In honor of National Chocolate Chip Day, here's a favorite "chip" recipe of our family.  I found the recipe in a Taste of Home magazine many years ago and have been making these cute and yummy muffins ever since.  I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream sugar and shortening until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; mix well. Combine dry ingredients. Gradually add to creamed mixture; mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each greased or paper-lined mini-muffin cup. Bake at 375° for 10-13 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Yield: about 3 dozen.
The recipe is also located here on their web site.
