These mini chocolate chip cookies are the perfect two-bite treat when you're craving something sweet but don't want a full-size cookie. With crispy edges, soft centers, and plenty of chocolate in every bite, they're ideal for snacking, sharing, or gifting. Plus, they come together quickly using simple pantry ingredients.
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Form Dough Balls: Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out small balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
