My French Canadian mother would make these for us when we were children. So when I want to go back and visit my childhood, I make a batch of these and just let the memories and the taste melt into my conscience and onto my taste buds. —Gisele Fergus
What You'll Need
Ingredients
- Heat oven to 375° than combine
-
1 cup
Boiling water
-
1 8oz packets
Chopped sugared dates
-
1 teaspoon
Baking soda
- 1 stick butter, 1 cup of sugar and 2 eggs and cream together than add to this mixture
-
1 3/4 cups
All purpose flour
-
3/4 teaspoon
Baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon
Salt
-
1 tablespoon
Vanilla extract
Directions
- Heat oven to 375° than combine
- Combine the above mentioned ingredients into a large measuring cup and let stand until cool.
- In a larger bowl or mixer bowl combine
- 1 stick butter, 1 cup of sugar and 2 eggs and cream together than add to this mixture
- Blend all together than add the dates and water mixture, (do not drain liquid) into dry ingredients.
- To this you will add while slowly mixing, 3cups any flavor or combination of chocolate chips. (White chocolate is my favorite and I have even added toffee bits) Stir until evenly distributed in batter.
- Use cupcake papers and distribute them into the cupcake pans. They come out much easier this way because the chocolate tends to ooze out the sides. Fill 3/4 full than sprinkle the tops with sugar cinnamon mixture atop each one. This adds a crispy crunch to the cupcakes along with the moist inner filling. Bake for approximately 20 min. Or until the tops spring back.
