I&rsquo;ve been scaling down recipes since 2009, but it wasn&rsquo;t until 2010 that I started this blog. If I remember correctly, small-batch chocolate chip cookies were one of the first 20 recipes I shared. My actual first recipe was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/chocolate-cream-pie-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">chocolate cream pie<\/span><\/a> for two, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all need chocolate chip cookies every now and then, but we almost never need four dozen of them. I still believe in the dessert for two doctrines after all of these years. A little bit of the real dessert is better than a lot of the fake stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-10.jpg\" alt=\"Hand holding a single dessert with a bite missing.\" class=\"wp-image-79756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-10.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-10-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-10-550x825.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-10-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-10-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-10-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-10-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of you said: why don&rsquo;t you just freeze the leftover dough?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I realize I can store leftover cookie dough balls in the freezer, I cannot be trusted around frozen cookie dough. I&rsquo;m one of those people that thinks frozen dough is even better than the baked cookie! Plus, if I froze every leftover batch of cookie dough, I would soon need to buy a deep freezer for additional freezer space!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-you-ll-need\">What you&rsquo;ll need:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies.jpg\" alt=\"Small colorful bowls with brown sugar, egg yolk, chopped butter on counter.\" class=\"wp-image-79753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>. You can use unsalted butter or salted butter, it truly doesn&rsquo;t matter because chocolate chip cookies taste best with a big pinch of salt. If you&rsquo;re using salted butter, reduce the amount of salt you add to the batter by half. We need 6 tablespoons of butter for this small batch chocolate chip cookies recipe, and it needs to be softened almost to room temperature. The best way to do this is to slice it up and leave it out at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong>. When it comes to brown sugar, dark or light work equally well here. However, I always reach for dark brown sugar, because the extra molasses makes for extra chewy, soft cookies. We need 1\/4 cup of it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar<\/strong>. Just 3 level tablespoons of white sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg Yolk<\/strong>. We just need the egg yolk for this recipe, not the egg white. Reserve the egg whites for another use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract<\/strong>. While 3\/4 of a teaspoon of vanilla extract sounds like a lot for a recipe that makes a small amount of cookies, it&rsquo;s so good&ndash;don&rsquo;t skip it!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>. Plain, all-purpose flour that you fluff, scoop to measure and level off with a knife. Measure out 1\/2 cup and an additional 2 tablespoons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Soda<\/strong>. One-quarter teaspoon of fresh (not expired!) baking soda.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Powder<\/strong>. The same amount of baking powder (1\/4 teaspoon).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>. I use 1\/8 teaspoon of fine sea salt, but this is really equal to one big pinch of salt. You&rsquo;re more than welcome to sprinkle fancy salt on top after they come out of the oven.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate Chips<\/strong>. I like to use dark chocolate chips or semisweet chips. Milk chocolate chips can be a bit too sweet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies\">How to make Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat the oven to 375.

Do not let them cool completely on the cookie sheet after baking, because the residual heat will continue to cook them. Using dark brown sugar helps increase chewiness in a cookie. So, scan your cookie recipe and make sure it has a higher portion of brown sugar to white sugar and you&rsquo;ll most likely end up with a perfectly chewy cookie.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692597092214\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the secret to the best cookies?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In general, follow a trusted recipe. Read the instructions all the way through, use high quality ingredients, and practice baking! Ensure your butter is softened but not melty, your dry ingredients are properly measured, and that your leaveners (baking soda and baking powder) are fresh and not expired.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692597105772\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why do my cookies get hard after they cool?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your cookies cool and become crisp it&rsquo;s because they were over-baked. Do not let them cool on the cookie sheet completely. Follow the instructions&ndash;let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 1 minute after they come out of the oven and then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692597120808\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What makes cookies rise baking soda or baking powder?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">So, some cookie recipes call for both baking soda and baking powder, and some call for one or the other. This small batch chocolate chip cookie recipe calls for both. Baking soda is acidic, which reacts with the ingredients the dough to create air bubbles, which spreads the dough, sometimes causes cracks (in the case of our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/small-batch-sugar-cookies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sugar cookies<\/a>) and makes it lift, ever so slightly.

Do not let them cool completely on the cookie sheet after baking, because the residual heat will continue to cook them. Using dark brown sugar helps increase chewiness in a cookie.
