"Bite Sized" Chocolate Chip Cookies

It has been awhile since I've have posted on my blog so I'm bringing out the mother load!!! 
These bite size chocolate chip cookies are sheer perfection and in only 8-9 minutes of cooking time. I also didn't even use my mixer because the baby was sleeping and I because I don't mind a little arm workout. 😉 but by all means pull that thing out and use it! 

So, I posted an end result picture on Facebook last night and had a couple of requests on this recipe. To be clear, this is a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe that I've always used and it's nothing special. But I must say that the corn starch makes a big difference in this recipe. Just gives the cookie a great texture that you long for when eating a delicous chocolate chip cookie. 

Ingredients:
3/4 cup softened butter 
1 cup brown sugar 
1/4 cup granulated sugar 
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract 
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups flour 
2 tsp corn starch 
1 tsp baking soda 
1 cup milk chocolate chips. I used mini. 


Directions: 
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 

Sift together your flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Set aside. 

Cream your butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Mix egg and vanilla until completely incorporated. 
Add flour mixture, gradually, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Lastly fold in your chocolate chips. 
Refrigerate dough for 20-30 minutes. It just allows the dough to firm up real nice and bake more evenly. 
**If you choose to not refrigerate your dough beforehand just remember the cookies will spread out more while baking. 

Line your cookie sheets with foil or parchment paper and lightly spray. 

After dough has chilled for 20-30 min you can scoop out tablespoon sized balls and drop them about 2 in apart on the cookie sheet. 
*I used my measuring tablespoon and lightly pack the dough in, that way you get all the cookie balls at or around the same size. 

Bake for 8-9 minutes and pull out. 
Notice they almost look under done, trust me they are done though. Please allow 5 min to cool and the transfer to wire rack to completely cool. They will fall apart if you touch them before then. 


Nothing better than bite sized chocolate chip cookie towers!!!!! These guys didn't last long in the house from last night to breakfast this morning ....c'mon it's the weekend!!!!!! ✌🏻️😊
