Miniature Chocolate Chip Cookies
Absolutely adorable mini cookies that are perfectly soft and have lots of chocolate all throughout!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup butter flavored shortening, (½ of a stick Crisco stick)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup white granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, shortening, vanilla, and sugars for 5-6 minutes. Add eggs until just incorporated. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch. Mix well. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Making the tiny cookies: You only need ½ teaspoon of dough for each cookie. That's not very much! There are two ways to this. First, spray a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon with non-stick spray, scoop the dough, then divide it in half. Respray spoon every 4-5 scoops. Second, use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop (#40), then divide the dough in half three times (until you have 8 pieces of dough).
- Roll the mini dough pieces into balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake 6-8 minutes.
- Cool on baking sheet 1 minute, then transfer to wire cooling rack.
- Recipe yields 85 cookies (when you use ½ teaspoon dough).
Notes
Tips
- There are a couple ways to make scooping just a ½ teaspoon of dough easier. First, spray a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon with non-stick spray, scoop the dough so it’s flat in the spoon, then divide it in half. Respray spoon every 4-5 scoops.
- Or you can use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop (#40). Make sure the dough is flat in the scoop, then divide the dough in half three times (until you have 8 pieces of dough). Roll the dough into balls.
- It’s easiest to work with a partner. One of you can scoop the dough, and the other can roll it into balls. This is a great job for your kids to help with!
