Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies- Bite-Sized Goodness!!
I don’t know why, but I am kind of mini obsessed. Small things are just the cutest, aren’t they? For example, my grocery store sells buttermilk in miniature milk jugs and I just can’t even handle it. Toy poodles.. be still my heart!
Itty bitty tiny things might be a weak spot with me. I know for a fact that these bite-sized chocolate chip cookies ARE a weak spot for me. ?
They are so pop-able! The good news is, you can literally eat 10 of these and not feel guilty about it! Each and every cookie is made with 1 teaspoon worth of dough. Yes! A teaspoon! These little guys bake up in no time!
I love to make these when we go to parties where there will be a lot of kids. They are perfect for little hands, just enough sweetness but nothing over the top. Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies are also always a major hit at potlucks. Or even for a fun tea party for your daughter and her stuffed animals. ?
How to make Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
I use the same base recipe for these mini chocolate chip cookies as my favorite Double Trouble Chocolate Chip Cookies. The only difference is I use mini chocolate chips and rolls them a whole lot smaller!
First, cream together the butter and sugars. Then add in the egg and vanilla.
Next goes in the flour, salt and baking soda. Mix thoroughly. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
After the mini chocolate chips are folded into the cookie dough, use a teaspoon measure spoon to scoop and roll the dough.
To make this process easier, I spray the measuring spoon with non-stick spray before scooping and then repeat whenever the cookie dough starts to stick.
The cookies will spread slightly while baking. Arrange on a cookie sheet, leaving about an inch in-between each cookie dough ball.
Bake at 350° for 6 minutes. Pull the cookies out when the tops are no longer glossy. Let the cookies cool right on the hot pan, they will continue to cook a little bit more as they cool.
Best eaten the same day, but will store well in an airtight container for a few days.

These are so cute.
Barri Jessica says
Do these freeze well? Would you bake them first then freeze them? Or freeze the dough in tiny balls and bake from frozen?
Karli Bitner says
Hi Barri- I would probably freeze after baking. Just make sure to not over bake them in the first place or else they will turn out dry and crunchy. 🙂

Your ratios are genius and they produce one of the most perfect mini cookies I have tried!! My hats off to you..to your readers: TRY THIS RECIPE, YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY 🙂

Grace says
I never leave reviews but these little mini bites are perfect and delicious! The taste and texture are excellent. I loved that they didn’t spread all over but held their cute, petite shape. These are great for my little granddaughters’ hands but also a good for adults who want to “have their cookies” without overindulging. Can’t say enough-a winning recipe! Thanks!!
Dan Bitner says
Thank you for letting me know Grace! I am so glad your granddaughters enjoy them.
Yelena says
So I’m wondering what I did wrong, my cookies came out thick and round, they didn’t flatten out like yours? Thanks
Karli Bitner says
Hi Yelena- This may be something as simple as your climate and altitude! Next time, use 1/4 cup less flour and you should be golden!
