Notes

No muffin tin? If you don't have a mini muffin tin, make these on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. The cookies will come out more like traditional round cookies than deep cookies.
Store. Place cooled cookies in a Ziploc bag on the counter for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Prep ahead of time. Store dough covered in the fridge for 1-2 days before baking. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips.
