Small Batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have started to make smaller portions of my recipes. The reason is that nowadays people live in small condos with small kitchens. The younger generation is eating healthier with portion control. They are living alone or share a room with a roommate. The smaller portion meals are very helpful for a small kitchen and are easier to make. The small batch of recipes are easier to whip up, especially for some recipes that people do not want to waste the ingredients if they do not come out right. I like the concept of baking smaller batches of cakes and cookies that are starting to take hold of me. Today, I will introduce the old fashioned chocolate chips cookies. This recipe comes out perfectly fine.

 Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup chocolate chips 

1 egg

1/4 cup softened butter

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup white sugar

2 tbs brown sugar

A pinch of salt

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

 Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, beat butter, egg, both sugars, and vanilla.

Add flour, the pinch of salt, and baking soda and beat until thoroughly blended.

Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using nuts.

Use a small ice cream scoop to form the cookies or drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

Let cool before serving.
