Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream ½ cup unsalted butter (i.e. 1 stick) and 1 cup granulated sugar for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add ½ cup sour cream, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon almond extract and mix until just combined.
Add 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt and mix until combined.
Slowly add 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour and mix until just combined. The mixture will be thick.
Gently fold in 1 cup mini chocolate chips with a spatula.
Line a mini muffin tin with mini paper cupcake liners.
Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop batter into each one. Even though the dough is thick and will stay in “mounds” when scooped, you do not need to spread it to be flat as it will melt down in the oven.
Press extra mini chocolate chips on the top of each muffin, if desired.
Bake at 350ºF for 11-12 minutes, or until centers are domed and no longer look wet in the center. Place on a wire rack to cool.
Allow to cool before removing from the wrapper (if you try to unwrap them while they’re hot, they will likely stick).
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze up to 1-2 months.

Notes

Mini Muffin Pan: I use an old Pampered Chef pan but this mini muffin tin from Wilton is similar.

Cupcake Liners: I use & recommend using these mini white cupcake liners for easy release and a neutral appearance.
