The Hygge Series: Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

bake · baking · cake · chocolate · chocolate cake

There’s chocolate and there’s double chocolate! I am not normally one for double chocolate (I know, surprising isn’t it?), but I woke up one morning craving an American style extra large muffin, and a core definition of Hygge is that you eat what you wish, without couting the calories! But of course, it was precisely at that moment that I had run out of cupcake liners, save for mini cupcake ones – the kind I normally avoid… because, let’s just say, I don’t believe in minis! But situations have a way of taking the mickey out of you, so I literally had no choice. This batter was made in just a few minutes, and they baked while I had my breakfast, coffee, chatted on the phone and caught up on 3 emails… it was a productive morning!

So here you go, 32 mini muffins that you can pop into your mouth on the go, spreading the joy with chocolate and living life into bliss!

The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

This cookie recipe is very much like the standard slightly chewy, slightly gooey, a tad heavy, but everything you need with a glass of milk. The recipe takes a bit of time, although not laborious, which is fine by me. The butter is to be browned beforehand which gives it this nutty aroma and darkened hue. I always opt for dark chocolate chunks and bits of hazelnuts or pecans. The ratio is personal, so go ahead and up or lessen the quantities of choco and nuts!
