INGREDIENTS FOR SMALL-BATCH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
For this recipe, you won't need any fancy ingredients. You'll just need your normal chocolate chip cookies ingredients, just on a smaller scale. Here's what you'll need:
• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Unsalted butter
• Granulated + light brown sugar
• Egg
• Vanilla extract
• Chocolate chips
MAKING SMALL-BATCH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Step 1: Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar for about a minute until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
Step 2: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix until the dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 3: Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a plate or small baking sheet. Pop the scooped dough into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Once the dough is almost done chilling, preheat your oven to 350F. Roll the chilled dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Bake for 14-16 minutes. The edges of the cookies should be just starting to turn light golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer then to a cooling rack.
TIPS FOR THE BEST COOKIES
♦ Use your favorite chocolate chips! Whether you like milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or something in between, use your preference of chocolate chips!
♦ Don't over bake your cookies. The key to getting soft and gooey chocolate chip cookies is not over baking them. The centers will still be a little soft when you pull them out of the oven, but they will firm up once they cool.
