Chocolate Chip Muffies: The Best of Two Wonderful Worlds

 What do you get when you bake chocolate chip cookie dough in a muffin tin? Well, muffies, of course! I saw this idea in the AllTheCooks app that I use somewhat religiously and immediately had to try it. You have all the taste of a perfect, homemade chocolate chip cookie, with the added pluses of a crisp, almost caramelized edge, and a moist, gooey interior. It's the best of every chocolate chip dough world! Here's the recipe if you want a luscious treat:
