Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies are teeny tiny treats that are as fun to eat as they are to make. These cookie bites may be small in size, but they are loaded with amazing flavor!
Prep: Start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees F. Next, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat, set it aside.
Batter: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and shortening. Then, add in the white and brown sugar and eggs, mix these ingredients together. After that, add in 1/2 the flour, the baking soda, baking powder and salt, mix again well. Then add in the remaining flour and mix until combined. Now, fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop: To make these tiny cookies, you will need to scoop just a small amount. There are two ways I found you can easily do this step: The first is to spray a 1 tsp measuring spoon with non-stick spray and scoop the dough, then divide it in half. This actually works pretty well; you will just have to re-spray the spoon after 4 or 5scoops. The second way is to scoop out dough using a regular 1.5 TBSP cookie scoop. (I use this cookies coop here) Then divide that scoop of dough in half, then divide those2 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.
Bake: Proceed to roll each mini piece of dough into a ball and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8minutes. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
