Miniature Chocolate Chunk Cookies
- Yield 45 servings
Depending on how long you bake these cookies, you can make them either crisp and crunchy, or bake them for a slightly shorter time for a moist and chewy version.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups semisweet chocolate pieces
Instructions
- Line sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on medium speed, scraping down the bowl as needed, until the mixture is smooth and light in color, about 5 minutes.
- Combine the eggs and the vanilla extract in a bowl and whisk until blended. Add the egg mixture to the butter- sugar mixture in 3 additions, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition and scraping down the bowl as necessary.
- Add the dry ingredients on low speed, mixing until just incorporated. Blend in the chocolate pieces.
- Drop 1 Tbsp of the dough onto the lined pans, leaving 11⁄2 in between each cookie.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes for a crisp cookie.
