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
- 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
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. {I use these parchment sheets– love them!}
- 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.
- 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.
- Roll mini dough into a ball and place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes.
- Once baked, transfer to a cooling rack.
- Recipe yields 85-90 mini cookies (when you use 1/2 tsp of dough).

Savannah says
If you don’t want to use all of the dough can you save it?
Jessica says
Of course! I just freeze it in a rubbermaid container!
K. Lee says
What type of flour works best for the cookies?
Jessica says
All purpose flour is just fine!
Nicole says
Hi—how long can these be stored in an air tight container or can they be frozen after baked?
Thanks!
Marianne says
I was wondering the same thing……. can they be frozen after they are baked?
Jessica says
They can be frozen after they’re baked! I’m more of a fan of freezing the dough balls, but if it works better for you to freeze the baked cookies, go for it! Just package them in an airtight container and I wouldn’t freeze them longer than a month or two.
Anna says
I followed the recipe but mine turned out to have an after taste of baking powder/ soda flavor. Any one else have that problem?

I usually don’t leave reviews. Only if the recipe is exceptional. These cookies were amazing. I followed the recipe and didn’t change a thing.
