Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
I got home from the BlogHer Food Conference last night. All I can say right now is, wow! My mind and heart are still full. I am honored and grateful to be a part of such a powerful, talented, and inspirational community. I haven’t had time to even unpack yet, so pictures and details will have to come later. Instead, I am sharing my mini chocolate chip cookie recipe today.
I love mini desserts. They are adorable. I have made mini cupcakes, tarts, and breads, but surprisingly, not cookies. I don’t know why because you all know I have a cookie obsession. I recently made a batch of mini chocolate chip cookies that were almost too cute to eat.
I used mini chocolate chips and made the cookies really small, about two teaspoons of dough per cookie. The cookies were perfectly round and tiny. When Josh saw the cookies he thought I bought them from the store. Um, no-I don’t buy my cookies, I bake them:) These mini chocolate chip cookies are soft, with a chewy edge. Mini chocolate chips are the perfect size for these itty bitty cookies.
If you like mini desserts, try baking a batch of mini chocolate chip cookies. They are perfect for kids, baby showers, or snacking. Good things come in small packages!

I am a huge mini chip fan. I use them in my mini muffins all the time. The cookies do look perfect enough to have come from a store! Glad you had a great time at the conference- can’t wait to hear more
These look delicious (as usual) and I love your photographs. I kept reading “mint” chocolate chip cookies and couldn’t figure out where the mint was coming from– haha! I’m excited to hear about Blog Her Food!

You have the best ideas! I love mini desserts and these look so yummy.

And since these are mini, I can eat more, right?
Can’t wait to read about the conference!! These little cookies are so tiny and cute! I love it!!
Maria, these cookies look amazing! They are the perfect size too. Those mint chocolate chips have got to be purchased over here to make these cookies. LOVED seeing you this weekend
my hubby was just standing over my shoulder asking when i was going to make these for him
Adorable. They look tasty!
What is it about mini cookies that is just so much fun? Besides, this way you can have four or five and not feel bad about it!

Ah I love mini desserts. These are adorable. Plus I love the really short cooking time. I can’t wait to hear about BlogHer Food….wish I would have been able to go.
wish i could have gone to the blogher event! mini desserts are always so cute and fun… plus, i love excuses to eat more cookies:-)
Just made mini cookies a few weeks ago – I found they’re quite dangerous.
Oh, I love these! They remind me of the ones my mom used to buy at the bakery. I can’t wait to try them!
BlogHer food sounds like so much fun and I wish I could have been there! Next year…
I think everything tastes better in mini form…especially cookies! These look delicious.
Such cute cookies! And I can’t wait to hear all about BlogHer!
Those are too cute for words! Definately bookmarking this one!
I love the idea of baking mini cookies! They are so cute and bite-size!
Great to see you, Maria and hope it will happen again soon!
Yummo on the cookies!
The cookies look great. How many do you have to eat to equal a full-sized cookie?
Love mini anything, especially chocolate chip cookies. Yours look great. YOu are such a good baker! And thanks so much for the link shout out above-that was so nice of you.

You are welcome:)
I love making Mini Cookies, for some reason they taste better mini then maxi!
these look almost too perfect to be homemade. they remind me(in looks only) of the junk I grew up on that came in that horrible white and pink, glossy bag. I can tell by your ingredients that these are above and beyond what I ate as a kid. I loved hanging out with you this weekend. What a special time for us all! Friends for life!

Friends for life indeed! Love and miss you!
Glad to here you had a nice time at the conference. Mini cookies are nice, you can stop at one or take a few
Those cookies are perfect!! Do you use a scoop? Yummy!!

I used a little spoon.
Love minis! And LOVE, LOVE ccc’s. Glad you had a great time at BlogHer. Can’t wait to hear more about it.
These look adorable! I’m totally going to have to make them and bring them to school to share! Maybe I’ll do it on an exam day and give them out in class to get brownie points from the professor….hmmmm…
These are absolutely adorable!! I love how mini they are and that they are still soft and chewy. Will definitely need to try these!
Glad that you enjoyed your conference! These cookies are so cute. I’ll have no problem eating a handful…or two. Will have to try sometime as I’ve never made mini cookies yet.
These are the perfect size for my boys’ lunch boxes and after-school treats.
Oh, oh I love mini desserts! These are adorable. I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe I always use, but I think I’m going to try yours next time.
Haha, I’m the same way about not buying cookies. Why should I when homemade taste a million times better? Those are adorable!!
There’s something so psychologically appealing about small desserts. I just love to eat a handful and pretend I ate almost nothing! A great recipe and beautiful photos. Lovely lovely lovely spending time with you up in SF. Can’t wait to have more time in the future! xoxoxo, Brooke
