Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Deliciously munch-able mini chocolate chip cookies with just 2 chips each. Snack on them like popcorn!
Servings: 10 dozen
Equipment
- non-insulated baking sheets
- 1/4 teaspoon measure for portioning out your dough.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter flavor Crisco shortening
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup golden brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F.
- Cream the shortening and sugars together with the vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in the egg, scraping down the sides of the bowl to get everything incorporated.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Fold the flour into your wet ingredients and mix until there are no dry streaks of flour left.
- Scoop out 1/4 teaspoon amounts of dough and place on baking sheet. Note: it seems like a ridiculously small amount of dough, but trust the process!
- Press 2 chocolate chips into either side of each scoop of dough, then roll round in your palms. Place each round back on the baking sheet, an inch apart from each other.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes (you can begin prepping the next pan while the first chills.)
- Bake the chilled cookies for about 6 minutes, or until puffed but not browned (they may be just starting to turn golden around the edges.)
- Remove the cookies to a cooling rack and let the hot cookie sheet cool down before reusing.
- Repeat for all the rest of the cookies. Note: you can save half the dough for another time, if you like. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Want to make your cookies smaller, or bigger?
- use slightly less dough and one chocolate chip to make smaller cookies.
- use 1/2 teaspoon of dough with 3-4 chips for larger mini cookies.
