Chocolate Chip Raspberry Muffins!

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup neutral oil

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate

2 eggs, room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup plain flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.

Slice butter into tablespoons and pour over the oil. Melt the butter into the oil. Remove from heat and sift in cocoa powder. Add chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted and cocoa is totalled combined into the fat. Let cool.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.

In a large mixing bowl place your sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until the mixture is smooth and a very pale yellow, scraping sides and bottom of bowl periodically.

Spoon flour mixture into wet ingredients and repeat step 4.

Pour chocolate mixture into the bowl and repeat step 4.

Ingredients

* 1 and 1/4 cups (156g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)

* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

* 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar

* 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

* 1 large egg, at room temperature

* 3/4 cup (188g) creamy peanut butter (see Note)

* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

* 1 and 1/4 cups (250g) mini M&Ms

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside for later.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl (using a hand mixer or stand mixer):

* Beat the butter on high for 1 minute until creamy.

* Add both sugars (brown and white) and beat on medium-high for 3 minutes until smooth.

* Add the egg and beat for 1 minute. Scraping the sides of the bowl with a spatula helps make sure everything mixes evenly.

* Add the peanut butter and vanilla, then beat until well combined.

3. Combine & Add M&Ms

* Turn your mixer to low speed and slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture until combined.

* Gently mix in the M&Ms. (Note: The dough will feel very soft!)

4. Chill the Dough

Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 1 to 2 hours. Don't skip this step, or your cookies will flatten too much in the oven.

5. Prep & Bake

* Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

* Roll into balls: Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in your hands. Place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

I love citrus, and these lemon crinkle cookies might be one of my new favorite recipes! They have the perfect blend of sweet and tart, and absolutely melt in your mouth. They’ll be a hit no matter the occasion! Recipe below 🤍
