One-Bite Two-Chip Cinnamon Cookies

Last night I was craving a sweet treat - and I decided to go through some cookbooks to find a quick recipe I could make with ingredients in my pantry. I came across a great recipe in Dorie Greenspan’s book, Dorie’s Cookies, that is fast, easy, and delicious!

I’ve made one important tweak - adding a second chocolate chip to make it even more chocolate-y in the middle. And I don’t think anyone will argue against more chocolate.

These bite-sized cookies only take 6 minutes to bake! They’re perfect to whip up on a whim (and eat by the handful).

One-Bite Two-Chip Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/4 cups (170 grams) all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup (45 grams) whole wheat flour

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar

  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (80 grams) packed light brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (I always use Diamond Crystal)

  • 1 large egg, at room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • About 1/2 cup chocolate chips (maybe more, since I used two chips per cookie)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Combine flours and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside;

  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees;

  3. Cream butter, both sugars, and salt on medium speed until smooth (this took me about 2 minutes with my stand mixer, maybe longer with a hand mixer);

  4. Add in egg and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth (if it looks a little lumpy, keep going!);

  5. Turn mixer off and add flour/salt mixture. Turn mixer on low and gradually increase the speed to medium. Mix until flour has disappeared;

  6. To make each cookie, use a teaspoon scoop or teaspoon measuring spoon to measure out cookie dough. Flatten into a small disc and add two chocolate chips to the center. Fold dough over chips and roll into a small ball; place cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; and

  7. Bake for 6 minutes (they will still be a little soft), remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking tray for a few minutes. Remove from tray and move cookies to cooling rack.
