Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups (178g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
  • 1 tsp (3g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 + 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2/3 cup (113g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus more for topping if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dry mix: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt for about 20 seconds. Set this dry mixture aside.
  2. Melt the butter: Place the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high in the microwave until it is halfway melted. Remove from microwave and whisk until fully melted. Pour the melted butter into the bowl of an electric stand mixer.
  3. Cream sugars and combine wet ingredients: Add the light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter. Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment and blend on medium speed until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Then mix in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly.
  4. Add dry ingredients and chocolate chips: With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or the mixer at low speed.
  5. Portion dough: Scoop out slightly heaping 1/2 teaspoon portions of dough and drop onto plates lined with wax paper or parchment. Shape each portion into a small ball. If desired, press 3 to 4 extra chocolate chips on top of each ball to enhance appearance and chocolate flavor.
  6. Bake the bites: Arrange the shaped dough balls onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 to 6 minutes. The cookie bites should still feel soft and slightly under-baked at this point, as they will continue cooking from residual heat after removal.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the cookie bites from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate. This resting period helps them set while remaining soft and chewy.

Notes

  • Do not over-bake: Bake just until the cookies are set but still soft; they will firm up as they cool.
  • Using mini chocolate chips helps distribute the chocolate flavor evenly in each bite sized cookie.
  • Shaping the dough into small balls makes bite-sized cookies perfect for snacking.
  • Pressing extra chocolate chips on top is optional but adds a nice visual and extra melty chocolate flavor.
  • Store cooled cookie bites in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
