I’m not usually a fan of mini desserts, but I am a major fan of anything that has to do with homemade chocolate chip cookies! When I saw microchip mini chocolate chip cookies featured in a recent issue of Food & Wine magazine, I knew I had to make them as soon as possible. They require a bit more flour, so they aren’t too sticky to work with. And it took me a few batches before I realized how little batter each cookie needed, but when I got it, I jumped for joy (and had a few tiny cookies to celebrate)!
Frozen Cookies
Growing up, my mom had to keep cookies in the freezer so all of the kids didn’t eat them up before the last batch was out of the oven. Those of you from a big family totally understand! Because of my mom’s trick, most of us kids actually prefer them frozen now.
Whenever I whip up a batch of cookies (microchip or normal-sized), my guy loves eating them right out of the oven, but I have to stick mine in the freezer for a few minutes before indulging. He thinks I’m crazy, but then I don’t understand why he wants them ooey, gooey, so we’re all in a confused, chocolate chip cookie-eating state!
The one thing we can agree on, however, is that homemade is best and, of course, we like ours the best at that – isn’t that the case for everyone though?
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Mini Chocolate Chip CookiesThese mini chocolate chip cookies are great for any crowd. They’re fun for kids to make and to eat. And they’re just as fun for grownups! You could switch up the flavor of chocolate chips used – semi-sweet morsels, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even butterscotch! I bet you could even swap out whole nuts or dried fruit too. The options really are endless.
