Chocolate Chip Fudge Puddles



From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser



_______________________________________


A chocolate chip cookie is baked in a mini muffin tin then filled with a spoonful of homemade fudge. Mmm! Try Peanut Butter Fudge Puddles too.



Cream:

1/2 c butter, softened

1/4 c crisco

Add:

1/4 c sugar

3/4 c brown sugar

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla

Add:

2 c flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cornstarch

Add:

1/2 c chocolate chips, chopped

Roll dough into 1" balls.

Place in ungreased mini muffin tins.


Bake @325, 12-14 min.

Remove from oven.

Use a teaspoon to push centers down (they cave in naturally as they cool).

Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.

This well help them hold their shape.

Make all the cookies before making filling.


Fudge Filling:

In a double boiler:

1 c chocolate chips (I like milk chocolate)

1/2 can sweetened condensed milk

Stir until melted & smooth.

Remove from heat & add:

1/2 tsp vanilla

Spoon or pipe filling into cookies.

Optional (top with): chopped nuts


Makes 45 cookies.





Drop 1" balls of dough in a mini muffin tin.



Baked. The dough expands to fill the tin.



Use a measuring teaspoon to make an indent in each cookie.



Don't have a double boiler? Put a small pot with an inch of water over a low flame. Put a Pyrex or other heat proof bowl (it will say oven safe on it) on top of pot. Put chocolate & sweet. cond. milk in bowl. Stir until smooth.
