MINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies are teeny tiny chocolate chip cookies about the size of a quarter! Soft, chewy poppable cookies that are perfect for parties.

Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies are so fun!  I’ve had the idea for these cookies for months now and I finally got around to recipe testing and baking. I have to say- they turned out amazing! And they were so much easier to make than I thought they’d be. I worried it’d take forever to roll 85 teeny tiny cookies, but I recruited a couple of my kids to help and we were done in 15 minutes! So grab some helpers and save this recipe. Everyone loved the poppable nature of them too- they are perfect for parties or casual get togethers.

Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. {I use these parchment sheets– love them!}
2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and shortening. Add in sugars and eggs and mix once more. Add in 1/2 the flour, the baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Add in remaining flour and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Making the tiny cookies: I tested out sizes and to make the mini cookies like the ones in my photos, you need only 1/2 teaspoon of dough for each cookie. Yep- just that small amount! There are 2 ways I found you can easily do this: The first is to spray a 1 tsp measuring spoon with non-stick spray and scoop out dough, then divide it in half. This actually works pretty well, you’ll just have to re-spray the spoon after 4 or 5 scoops. The second way is to scoop out dough using a regular 1.5 TBSP cookie scoop. (I use this cookie scoop here) Then divide that scoop of dough in half, then divide those 2 halves in half (so now you have 4 mounds of dough). Now divide all those dough mounds in half- you’ll end up with 8 pieces of dough.
4. Roll mini dough into a ball and place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes.
5. Once baked, transfer to a cooling rack.
6. Recipe yields 85-90 mini cookies (when you use 1/2 tsp of dough).
