Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or mix with white or dark chocolate chips as desired)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy to incorporate air and ensure tenderness. Add the egg and vanilla extract, blending well to evenly combine all flavors.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
  3. Add the chocolate chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly through the dough, ensuring each cookie will have plenty of melty chocolate nuggets.
  4. Portion the dough: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop mini-sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for slight spreading.
  5. Bake your cookies: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft. Remove and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack for full cooling.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for fluffier creamed mixture.
  • Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to avoid dry cookies.
  • Chill dough briefly if you want to prevent spreading.
  • Watch bake time closely since mini cookies bake faster; check early to avoid over-baking.
  • Use parchment paper on baking sheets for even baking and easy cleanup.
