Who needs another chocolate chip cookie recipe?

You do!

If you’re looking for an excuse to make chocolate chip cookies, then here it is: Mini chocolate chip cookies. They’re a breeze to make, and they bake faster than regular-size chocolate chip cookies. They’re soft, chewy, and bite-sized.

This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies.

Recipe Tips

• Freeze dough for later: If you don’t want to make all the cookies now, you can freeze the dough. Roll into balls and place in a freezer bag.
• Make mini ice cream sandwiches: Place one tablespoon of ice cream on one cookie. Place another cookie on top. Freeze until ready to eat.
• Use mini chocolate chips: Regular-size chocolate chips are too big for these mini cookies. I use Nestle Toll House mini chocolate chips.
