Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites
Enjoy soft, chewy, and irresistibly poppable chocolate chip cookie bites that are perfect for sharing or indulging on your own.
Ingredients
For the cookie dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For coating (optional)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar For coating the cookie bites
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- In a bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, then beat until fluffy and well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- If you’d like, roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough in granulated sugar, then place them in the muffin pan.
Baking
- Bake for 9–11 minutes or until the edges are golden and the tops are set.
- Let them cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Don’t overbake! These cookie bites firm up as they cool, so take them out when the edges are lightly golden. Sugar coating is optional but gives them a sweet crunch and bakery-style sparkle. Grease the pan well so the cookie bites pop out easily.
