Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookie bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined and set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded teaspoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookie bites cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the cooled cookie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted – this ensures the perfect texture and helps your cookies hold their shape.
- Don't overmix the dough! Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep your cookie bites tender and not tough.
- Use a small cookie scoop or measuring spoon to ensure uniform size, which helps all your bites cook evenly.
- For extra chocolatey bites, reserve a few chocolate chips to press on top of each dough ball before baking.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients, especially eggs and butter, to create a more consistent dough.
- If you like a crispier bite, flatten the dough balls slightly before baking. For softer bites, leave them in a more rounded shape.
