Banana Cupcake Fail
I followed my recipe for the vanilla cupcakes.. I start to mix my dry ingredients; flour and sugar and i go to reach for the baking powder and wasn't on the counter.. I go to that cabinet and guess what It wasn't there either. So me being me I used baking soda. I use just a teaspoon of baking soda.. thought that might work ... i put the recipe together and then add the bananas.. bake them.. thought they would be fine. the batter tasted fine.. but when i went to eat one of them they tasted AWFUL. So next time ill make sure i have all of the ingredients...

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoon milk
2/3-1 cup chocolate chips
Mix all ingredients in a big bowl. (No special instructions, it's easy!)

MINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven 325°. Line cookie sheets with parchment, if desired. (I didn't and had no problem with burnt bottoms or the cookies sticking to the sheets).
Mix butter and sugars until thoroughly combined. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Add dry ingredients and beat at low-speed just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips (by hand).
To make mini cookies for use on the cupcakes, use a VERY small amount of dough for each cookie (1 - 1.5 tsp each!). These bake for about 6-7 minutes. For full sized cookies, it will be 11-14 minutes until the cookies are lightly golden.
Cool cookies on sheets until able to lift without breaking. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
