Chocolate chip cookies always hold a special memory in my heart. Chocolate chip cookies were my mom’s go to recipe for any family gathering, vacation, and birthday event. I can still remember walking into the house after a long day of school to no the sweet smell of ooey gooey warm chocolate chips melting into the buttery brown sugar cookie. The sweetness balanced with a pinch of salt and dash of pure vanilla bean. Pure tastebud heaven!!!
These mini chocolate chip cookies are a slight variation from my mom’s which used crisco or softened butter. This recipe uses melted better and a dash of cornstarch to bind the batter. The beauty of this recipe is the cookies bake in under 15 minutes and no stand mixer required.
