Delicious bite-sized mini chocolate chip cookies that are soft, chewy, and perfect for sharing or enjoying yourself.
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Should be at room temperature for better creaming
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Spoon into measuring cup for accuracy
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips Recommended for even distribution
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
Baking
- Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, do not overmix the dough and do not overbake the cookies. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes can help maintain cookie shape.
