Barbara discovered these Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies when she married her husband, Kevin. His grandma made them for every family gathering.

Her cookies were tiny, so you could reach in and grab a handful without feeling guilty. They also are crispy which is a nice change from Barbara’s go-to soft chocolate chip cookies. Want that recipe? Try our Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Holidays haven’t been the same since Kevin’s grandma moved out of her home and into assisted-living. So, Barbara decided to tackle her cookies for her 93rd birthday party recently. They were such a hit Barbara might have nominated herself to keep up this tradition.

You may think you need to use mini chocolate chips in this recipe, but you would be wrong. Use regular size chocolate chips, trust us it’s the right choice.

The hardest part of these cookies is scooping the right amount of dough to make the perfect “mini” cookie. It isn’t a quick process and Barbara’s preferred method is to use a knife to drop just a 1/2 teaspoon of cookie dough onto the baking sheet.
