Description
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, and perfectly poppable. These bite-sized treats are easy to make, loaded with chocolate chips, and perfect for snacking, parties, or lunchboxes.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, loosely packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Beat with a hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Use a mini ice cream scoop or heaping tablespoon to portion the dough into small cookies.
- Chill the dough in the fridge overnight or freeze for 1 hour for best texture.
- Place chilled cookie dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. Do not overbake.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and enhances flavor.
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure even mixing.
- You can freeze the cookie dough balls and bake from frozen—just add 1–2 minutes to the bake time.
- Switch up the chips with semi-sweet, dark, or even white chocolate for variety.
