Muffin Tin Chocolate Chip Cookies are easy chocolate chip cookies that are soft and delicious.
What makes a good chocolate chip cookie? If you ask 10 people, you’ll probably get 10 different answers. These Muffin Tin Chocolate Chip Cookies are for people who like soft chocolate chip cookies with chewy edges that are easy to make.
How do you make easy chocolate chip cookie dough?
This cookie recipe is simple to make. There’s no need to use a mixer – hand or stand. In fact, I suggest mixing them up by hand.
Also, since the butter is melted, the butter doesn’t have to soften beforehand. And there’s no need to chill the dough before baking. All of which makes this a simple, easy chocolate chip cookie recipe.
How do you bake cookies in a muffin tin?
It’s easy! I use a baking spray with flour to grease the cups of the muffin tin. Then, you just place a scoop of cookie dough into easy cup and bake.
How do I get the cookies out of the muffin tin?
Wait about 5-10 minutes for the cookies to cool a bit. Then, use a thin rubber spatula to gently pop the cookie out of the tin.
As long as the pan was greased well, it should just slide right out. Or you can use muffin tin liners to line the pan.

Tools used to make these Muffin Tin Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Parchment Baking Liners: This is my favorite brand of baking liner. They are nonstick, and everything just peels right off. I like that I never end up with half a muffin or cupcake stuck to the paper when I use them.
Baking spray with flour: I use baking spray with flour most of the time when I’m baking. I like that it greases and flours all in one spray, and I’ve never had trouble with anything sticking when I use it.

Wonderful!! Tried other “cup” cookies but this is the one that worked best for me 😊 I baked it in the airfrier (5 minutes on 180 Celsius, 10 minutes 170) and let it cool for 5. Turned out perfect. Crunchy outside, soft inside. Thank u!

How about silicone cupcake cups?
Kate says
I haven’t tried using silicone cupcake liners with this recipe to say for certain. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear how it turns out!

Can these be made in a muffin top pan?
Kate says
Hi! I haven’t tried that to say for certain.

I made these cookies in muffin top pans. I filled two trays of 24, then went back and put a little more in each muffin cup, instead of making 28 cookies. I was able to cook 24 cookies at the same time. They took 10-11 minutes and came out perfect. The only other thing I did differently is I used room temperature butter and didn’t melt it in a pan. My family said they were the best chocolate chip cookies ever.

I’m so glad that the cookies were a hit!
