Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan to ensure the cookie bites don’t stick.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light, fluffy, and fully combined, forming a smooth mixture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture until well incorporated, creating a uniform batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir the mini chocolate chips gently into the dough, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup, pressing lightly to fill the cups evenly but not too densely.
- Bake: Bake the cookie bites for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the cookie bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra indulgence, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookie bites immediately after baking.
- You can customize by adding chopped nuts into the dough or drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled bites for added flavor and texture.
- Store the cookie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
