Small batch mini cookies

🍪For this recipe I got about 15 mini cookies, and I used a tablespoon to measure each one!

🍪Here’s a simple one-bowl version that gives chewy-gooey cookies with minimal effort:

🍪 Half-Batch

Melted-Butter

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yield: ~12 cookies

Prep time: 10 minutes

Bake time: 10–12 minutes

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

• ¼ cup brown sugar, packed

• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 1 large egg yolk

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• ¼ teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ½ cup chocolate chips (or chunks)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.

3. Whisk in the egg yolk and vanilla until combined.

4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a spatula until a soft dough forms — don’t overmix.

5. Fold in chocolate chips.

6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

7. (Optional) Chill for 15–20 minutes for thicker cookies.

8. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone.

9. Cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a rack.
