These cupcakes taste very similar to fluffy chocolate chip cookies and were the signature dish of my husband's Aunt Lois when I first married into the family. His mother began making them also and they are her most-requested dish. Even when making traditional desserts for holidays, she adds these cupcakes. She even gives them as gifts.—Sue Smith, Joaquin, Texas

I made a triple batch for the guys my husband works with and they asked for the recipe. The guys give me their old jeans for quilts and I bake for them.

I made this for work just because, and everyone really really enjoyed them and wanted the recipe. I'll be making these again for sure.

Spray your cupcake liners with a touch of cooking spray & the paper won't stick.

These were really hard to tell when they were done. Also, when I took them out of the oven, they collasped. Then I couldn't even get them out of the pan because they collasped. I finally ate one, and they tasted good, but I COULDN'T GET THEM OUT OF THE PARER CUPS!! I was really disappointed. They tasted good, but it was to much work to try and eat them.

I can't believe this recipe doesn't have 5 stars. I'm making a double batch today since the batch I made yesterday is already gone. They are yummy!

For the event I was making these, I wanted to use the mini muffin pans and had the mini paper liners, so I used them. The scoop I used holds 2 level teaspoons of dough (made 3 dozen minis); then I used the back of a spoon to level the dough a little bit in each cup and baked them for 9-10 minutes. For the filling, I used miniature chocolate chips along with the other specified ingredients; my 1 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon (level) was the perfect amount for each mini cupcake. After baking another 9-10 minutes and letting them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, they came out very easily. I let them cool completely while I was at work; HOWEVER, it was very difficult to get the paper liners off of each cup. Next time I will try the foil liners and see if that is easier. At the meeting where I took them, one person said, "You are the only person I know who would take the time to make each little one!" It was time consuming, but they did look good. When I picked up one of the leftovers that was left on the tray overnight, it had 'seeped' a little so it stuck just a bit, but was manageable. I don't know if that was from the butter in the cookie or the egg in the filling. They tasted great; but since it took so much time I will probably only make these for a special occasion or for a bake sale.
