Who doesn't love a chocolate chip cookie and in a mini size?! I can never get enough of these classic cookies. They will always rank high on my favorite cookie list. They are also easy to make and it is rare I don't have the ingredients on hand. Through the years I have always stuck with the recipe from Hershey. It is on the back of the chocolate chip bag and by now I have it memorized. It is a simple recipe loaded with goodness. I make mine in the mini size by scooping out the dough with a 1/2 tablespoon and placing on the cookie sheet. They come out perfect every time. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened (I prefer using salted butter)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (only if using unsalted butter)
- 2 cups (12-ounce package) of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars until creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and eggs and beat well. Mix in the flour one cup at a time. Last stir in the baking soda and salt, if needed. Scoop out the dough using a 1/2 tablespoon and and place the dough on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly on the cookie sheet before removing to a counter or wire rack. Cool completely and store in an air tight container.
