Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup plain greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder (I use Hershey's Dark)
• 2 cups flour
• 2/3 cup brewed coffee, cooled
• 2 1/2 cups chocolate cookie chunks, divided (I used Oreos)
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the egg, vanilla, and yogurt and beat again.
Sift together the baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and flour. Add the flour mixture alternately with the coffee until it is all incorporated. Do not over mix. Stir in 2 cups of cookie chunks and the mini chocolate chips by hand.
Spoon the batter into 15 muffin liners. Crush the remaining cookie chunks into crumbs and sprinkle a little bit on each muffin top. Bake at 400* for 18 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving. Store in a sealed container on the counter for a few days.
