Itsy Bitsy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I acknowledge the lead photograph for this publish makes these chocolate chip cookies look huge. They aren’t. In actual fact, considered one of these cookies is in regards to the dimension of a half-dollar, you would possibly have the ability to match a dozen of them within the palm of your hand. And whereas the photograph may be a bit deceptive, the trade-off is that you may see all of the flecks of shaved chocolate, oats, and walnuts which might be packed into each tiny cookie. The grains of sugar on prime? They offer the cookies simply the correct quantity of crunch. These are the proper bite-sized cookie, and every batch makes almost twelve dozen of them.

Itsy Bitsy Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Idea

I began engaged on this recipe over the summer time (it took a couple of tries!). I knew I wished my cookie to be tiny. I wished it to be skinny, and I wished it to be golden, crisp, nutty, with loads of chocolate. I began shaving the chocolate early on, as a substitute of utilizing chips or chunks. It ended up being one of many issues that makes these cookies distinctive -and it means that you can press the dough close to flat.

The recipe doubles simply, and I can not resist mentioning that ice-cream sandwiches made with them are tres cute and engaging. The bottom line is resisting the urge to make use of an excessive amount of dough whenever you’re shaping them.

Variations: 

There have been some nice substitutions and variations within the feedback. I’ll name out a couple of that caught my consideration.
