Beat in vanilla and eggs one at a time.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir in chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown.

Bake the Mini Cupcakes

In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, water, and oil until smooth.

Fill mini cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool, then frost with chocolate frosting and add sprinkles.

Enjoy your delicious Super Bowl desserts!

Pro Tips

For an extra special touch, consider adding a scoop of ice cream on the side of your cookies!

Tips for Success

To ensure your chocolate chip cookies come out perfectly every time, make sure your butter is softened, not melted. This will help achieve the right texture, resulting in cookies that are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Additionally, don't overcrowd the baking sheet; leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

For the mini cupcakes, keep an eye on them as they bake. Ovens can vary, so start checking for doneness a few minutes before the recommended time. Once they're cool, feel free to get creative with the decorations. A variety of colorful sprinkles can make your mini cupcakes a visual treat that matches the festive spirit of the Super Bowl.

Storage Suggestions

If you have leftovers from your Super Bowl party (which is rare but can happen), properly storing them ensures they remain fresh. Chocolate chip cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them; just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Mini cupcakes can also be stored in an airtight container, but they’re best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, consider frosting them the day of the event to maintain their flavor and presentation. This way, you can enjoy the delicious taste without worrying about compromising their look.
