DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFIN TOPS

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 1 Hour
(Makes about 12 servings)

Ingredients:
2 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour
½ Cup Cocoa Powder
1 ¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Iodized Salt
1 stick Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
¾ Cup Light Brown Sugar
¼ Cup White Sugar
1 piece Whole Egg
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 ½ Cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking
soda and salt.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the
butter with the brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add
the egg and vanilla, and mix to combine.
4. Add about a third of the flour mixture to the bowl of the mixer, and mix to
combine. Add half the buttermilk and mix to incorporate. Repeat until all the
flour and buttermilk are added and the batter is smooth. Add the chocolate
chips to the batter, and fold in gently.
5. Scoop the batter into ¼-Cup rounds onto the prepared baking sheets,
staggering the mounds so they’re at least 1½ inches apart.
6. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin top comes out clean,
17 to 20 minutes. Cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
