What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Delicious Holiday Foods: One-Bite Cookie Morsels! Years ago while traveling with my husband on a business trip, we had dinner at a popular local restaurant that extended a warm welcome to all who crossed its threshold. Before approaching the hostess stand, we were immediately greeted by the bakery-fresh aromas of homemade cookies. How delightful! On the dessert showcase, to our right, sat a plate of one-bite chocolate chip cookies with a table tent that said, “Please Take One”. I assure you, we didn’t hesitate as we munched away following the hostess to a nice, secluded corner booth. Talk about a memorable experience.
ONE-BITE COOKIE MORSELS
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. Using a mixer, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar on medium speed until well combined. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Reduce speed to Low and slowly add dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Scoop 1/2 tablespoon-sized mounds of cookie dough, form into a ball, press 2-3 mini chocolate chips into top, and place onto prepared baking sheet. Bake 5-6 minutes; remove from oven. Allow to cool for 2 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack.
I only have a problem with the “allow to cool” here… Not sure I’ll be able to! 🙂

I love one-bite cookies. I think they go a lot further, because in having two of them, I’ve still had less than a typical “normal-sized” cookie. I should mention that when I make cookies, “normal-sized” are as huge as I can make them. 😉

When I make chocolate chip cookies I like to use muffin tins and get the exact size I want. It’s a great idea and you always have “perfect sized” cookies 🙂

My kids love chocolate chip cookies. It is their first choice when I ask what cookies to bake for the Advent season.

So, one bite means no calories to count, right?
