These mini chocolate chip cookies are perfectly sized to satisfy a cookie craving! They’re soft, chewy, and bursting with mini chocolate chips in bite-sized form.
Prep. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line one baking sheet with wax paper and line another baking sheet with Silpat or parchment paper. Set aside.
Mix the dry ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; whisk until well combined and set aside.
Mix the wet ingredients. In your mixer's bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla; using your mixer, cream until smooth and creamy.
Combine. Gently stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture; mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. At this point, you can continue with the recipe or store the cookie dough in the refrigerator or freezer (see notes).
Scoop the cookies. To continue, scoop out 1/2 teaspoon of cookie dough at a time and drop it onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet. Then, shape each cookie dough into a ball and transfer the cookie balls to the parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake. Bake the cookies for 5 to 6 minutes or until the edges are light brown. The cookies should still feel soft in the middle and under-baked.
Cool. Remove the mini chocolate chip cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes; then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cookies in airtight containers.
Notes
Make-ahead: To freeze the chocolate chip cookie dough, scoop and then roll the dough into balls as directed. Instead of baking, transfer the dough balls to a plastic freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. You can bake the cookie dough from frozen for about 6 to 8 minutes or until done.
