These chewy mini chocolate chip cookies feature crispy edges and tender centers, perfect for a quick and satisfying sweet treat. The mini size makes them irresistible and ideal for portion control.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) packed brown sugar (light brown sugar preferred)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with a mixer on medium speed.
  4. Add the large room temperature egg and pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
  6. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop or spoon, drop mini mounds of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Cookies should be roughly 1 inch in diameter before baking.
  8. Bake one sheet at a time for 9-11 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers remain slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If cookies spread too much, chill the dough for 15 minutes before scooping. For thicker cookies, flatten dough gently before baking. Use softened but cool butter for best texture. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even color. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
