Peppermint Brownie Cups Recipe image

These cookies look fancy, but the recipe is fairly easy. We love the brownie-style texture, loads of peppermint flavor and a hint of coffee. -Linda Bibbo, Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line 48 mini-muffin cups with paper or foil liners.
  • In a metal bowl over simmering water, melt butter, chocolate chips and unsweetened chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar and coffee granules until blended. Stir in extracts and chocolate mixture. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture, mixing well.
  • Fill prepared cups three-fourths full. Bake 12-14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool in pans 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
  • For frosting, in a small bowl, beat confectioners' sugar, butter and extract until smooth. Fold in marshmallow creme. Pipe or spread frosting over brownie cups; sprinkle with peppermint baking chips.
  • Yield: 4 dozen.
