Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
What is it about mini desserts that makes them so fun?! Maybe it's because you can eat more of them! 🤣 My Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies are some of the best cookies ever thanks to my secret ingredient: vanilla pudding mix! They are soft, chewy, and the perfect snacking size!

Then, add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Blend until mixed. If any of the mixture gets stuck on the paddle attachment or side of the bowl use a rubber spatula to knock it off.

Scoop and roll into small balls (~1-2 tsp in size) and place on the prepared baking sheets. You should be able to fit ~24 cookies on each baking sheet.

Bake for just 5-6 minutes, the cookies will begin to turn a little golden around the edges and the tops might look a little under done, but that's perfect. They'll continue to bake on the sheet pan once you pull them out of the oven. Garnish with more mini chocolate chips on top, if desired. Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes then carefully transfer to a wire rack.

And that's it! Good luck eating just one! 😉
