Chocolate chips + cookie dough = mmmm...





lol, chocolate chip cookies are great, maybe you could making those.


:)
This is so simple that anyone could do it..I burn every cookie that I make but this..Take already to bake cookie dough that is all ready in squares....put then in the little muffin pan( the small one). Make a cup out of them. Then bake for 10 minutes and when you take them out put chocolate chips or I have been using the swirl chips.. Push them down a little. Let cool and you have a 2 bite size cookie. The kids love making them since they are already to put in the pan and they can add the chips. Perfect!
