  • Total Time: 20 minutes

  • Yield: About 40 mini cookies

🛒 Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven

    • Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Cream Butter & Sugars

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add Wet Ingredients

    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. Mix Dry Ingredients

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips

    • Stir in the mini chocolate chips.

  6. Shape Cookies

    • Scoop small 1-teaspoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each (they spread slightly).

  7. Bake

    • Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are soft. Do not overbake.

  8. Cool & Enjoy

    • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

🌟 Tips for the Perfect Mini Cookies

  • Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it feels too soft—this helps prevent excess spreading.

  • Use a small cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.

  • Swap mini chocolate chips for white chocolate, peanut butter, or butterscotch chips for fun variations.

  • Double the recipe and freeze half the dough—bake straight from the freezer for fresh cookies anytime.

🥡 Storage

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

  • Freeze baked cookies or dough balls for up to 3 months.

 These Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies are chewy, chocolate-packed, and completely irresistible. Whether you pop one or a handful, they’ll quickly become a go-to recipe in your kitchen.
