Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1-1/3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (for tender, thicker cookies)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chips
- 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Let’s Make Bite-Sized Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt for about 20 seconds. Set aside.
- Melt the butter: Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high until halfway melted. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Cream butter and sugars: Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter. Using the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: With the mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until they are combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop the dough into slightly heaping ½-teaspoon portions. Roll into balls.
- Bake: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the cookies look set but are still soft and slightly underbaked.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
- Use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to keep sizes uniform.
- Chill the dough for 15–20 minutes so it’s easier to roll into neat little balls.
- To bake, place them at least 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
- For chewy bites, use a little more brown sugar than white sugar.
- For crisp bites: flatten the dough balls slightly before baking.
Storage and Freezing the Cookies
Storing
- Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For longer freshness, refrigerate for up to 1 week (just let them come back to room temperature before serving for best texture).
Freezing
- Baked cookies: Cool completely, then place in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once solid, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Cookie dough balls: Scoop and shape the dough, then place on a tray to freeze until firm. Store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen—just add 1–2 extra minutes to the bake time.
