Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Bites
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by lightly greasing it or lining with mini paper liners for easy removal.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This typically takes a few minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the ingredients are fully combined, creating a smooth batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing which could make the cookies tough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout.
- Portion Dough: Using about 1 tablespoon of dough, scoop into each mini muffin cup, filling approximately 3/4 full to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set but still soft.
- Cool: Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring the cookie bites onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra texture and flavor.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Do not overbake to keep cookie bites soft and chewy.
