Yield: 16 regular or 36 mini muffins

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup plus 1 T. sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 t. instant coffee granules, divided
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

Directions:

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. In a small bowl, stir milk and 2 tablespoons coffee granules until coffee is dissolved. Add butter, egg and vanilla; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in 3/4 cup chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 375 degrees for 17 to 20 minutes for regular muffins, or 13 to 15 minutes for mini muffins. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. In a food processor or blender, combine cream cheese and remaining vanilla, coffee granules and mini chocolate chips. Cover and process until well blended. Refrigerate spread until serving time. Serve spread on the side.


Especially in Christmas week
Temptation is so great to peek!
Now wouldn’t it be much more fun
If shoppers carried things undone?
