Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- ¾ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure they are evenly combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which incorporates air for a tender texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix the large egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough, evenly distributing them throughout.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Scoop about one tablespoon of dough into each muffin cup. Press lightly to fill the space and shape the cookie bites evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and set.
- Cool: Let the cookie bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Customize your cookie bites by adding chopped nuts, toffee bits, or different types of chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
- For a gooey center, press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie bite before baking.
- Store cookie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
