Cookie Monster Muffins

• Preheat the oven to 200 ° C.

dough

• The softened butter is stirred together with the sugar + vanilla sugar until frothy.

• Now the 3 eggs are gradually added.

• Mix flour + baking powder and pour through a sieve.

• Add the milk + stir everything until an even mixture is formed.

• 6 of the chocolate chips are set aside, as these will be needed afterwards for the googly eyes. Mix the remaining chocolate chips into the batter.

• Now the dough is distributed on the molds + baked on the middle rack for about 20-25 minutes.

• When they are ready, let them rest briefly in the mold and then take them out so that they can cool down completely.

decoration

• Mix the marzipan + 100 g powdered sugar, divide the marzipan mixture into 24 pieces of roughly the same size and then shape each piece into a ball. A chocolate drop is then pressed onto each ball.

• Desiccated coconut is mixed + colored with blue food coloring - it is best to use disposable gloves [since I didn't have any, I just put a freezer bag over my hand so that the color wouldn't rub off]!

• Mix 11,100 g powdered sugar + food coloring and the appropriate amount of water until you have a glaze.

• Brush the top of the muffin with this icing + dip into the desiccated coconut.

• Glue the marzipan eyes to the muffins with a dollop of icing.

• Halve the biscuits + carefully cut a horizontal slit at mouth level and insert the biscuit.
