Get the Recipe: Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
This small batch of chocolate chip cookies is the perfect size for any occasion or dessert craving! These cookies come together quickly and easily. This recipe only makes 7 or 8 cookies, which is the perfect amount!
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups flour, gluten free 1 to 1 flour or all purpose
- ½ tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt, if desired
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, beat cubes of cold butter with white sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in egg and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough into 7 or 8 equal sized balls. Place at least 3 inches apart on lined pan.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookie edges are lightly golden and the middles are just set.
- Remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes. Finally, carefully transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Use cold butter. Softened butter and melted butter will yield cookies that spread a lot while baking.
- Beat the butter and sugars until no clumps of butter remain. Any clumps of butter in the dough will melt and run in the oven.
- Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour can be used.
- Use your favorite brand and type of chocolate chips.
- Do not over bake these cookies. Once the edges are lightly golden and the middles look just barely set, remove from oven. Cookies will firm up slightly while cooking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Cookies freeze very well!
