Directions
Step One: Make the Cookie Dough
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cold, sliced butter with the brown sugar and white sugar until well combined and creamy. *Important: make sure the butter and sugars are fully mixed together before moving onto the next stem.
Add the egg yolk, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Note: this is a Levain style cookie. Mixture should be thick. If it feels too dry or crumbly, add ½ teaspoon of milk at a time until the dough comes together smoothly.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Step Two: Bake the Mini Cookies
Portion the dough using a 1 teaspoon scoop (about 6 grams of dough per cookie). For best consistency, level the scoop or lightly roll into balls if needed.
Place dough on baking sheet, spacing about 1–2 inches apart. Cookies will spread slightly as they bake.
(Optional) For a more polished look, gently press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of each dough ball.
Bake at 350 F for 7–9 minutes, or until edges are set and bottoms are lightly golden. Centers should remain soft.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Note
Note from Tiffany:
For quick and consistent portioning, use a 1 tsp scoop (about 6g per cookie). If making a larger batch, you can also roll the dough into logs and cut into small pieces for faster prep, however, does cause slight variation in cookie sizes.
Storage Tips
Room Temperature (Short-Term)
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
Keep in a cool, dry place, away from heat to prevent the chocolate from softening.
Refrigerator (Not Recommended)
Refrigeration will cause cookies to dry out.
Freezing (Best for Batch Baking)
Place cookies in a single layer in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.
Freeze for up to 2 months.
To thaw:
Transfer to the refrigerator overnight, or
Let sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes until fully thawed.
💗 Pro Tips:
If stacking, place parchment paper between layers to protect the chocolate coating.
Avoid condensation by keeping cakes in a sealed container while thawing.
