#CreativeGlazeChallenge // Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Jessica • June 1, 2015

Are you guys ready for our first #CreativeGlazeChallenge. Don’t forget to follow both myself @jessicaglaze and @creativewifeandjoyfulworker on Instagram. After you bake these cookies, post a picture of them on Instagram using the hashtag #creativeglazechallenge for a chance to be featured on our Instagram accounts and for a chance to host the next challenge with us.

Okay, so on to the delicious part. You know when you find a cookie recipe on Pinterest and it has 92,385 ingredients and it’s super complicated and ends up either a Pinterest fail or you never end up making them? Well this cookie recipe isn’t like that! This cookie recipe is super easy.

I did all of the measuring, but my kiddos did basically all of the work. That’s how simple it is. The hardest part is remembering to set the butter out an hour or so before you start so that it has time to warm up to room temperature.

And because these are mini chocolate chip cookies, they turn out super tiny and cute.

So here it is…

Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies by Jessica Glaze 

Prep time: 20 mins

Bake time: 5 mins

Yields approximately: about 10 dozen

1/2 cup   butter , at room temperature
1/4 cup  granulated sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons   packed light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp   baking soda
Heaping 1/4 tsp   salt
1 3/4 cup  all-purpose flour
1 cup   mini chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, cooking spray, or a silicon baking mat.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, beating until incorporated, and scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in salt and baking soda until combined, then add the flour on a low speed until just mixed. The dough will look crumbly at this point. With a spatula, fold/stir in the mini chocolate chips.

Scoop dough out with a slight heaping 1/2 tsp at a time and drop onto baking sheet. Leave about an inch between each ball of dough.

When over is heated to 350°F, bake in cookies for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet several minutes. They should still feel soft and slightly under-baked when you remove them from the oven. They will continue to cook slightly once removed from oven, so be careful not to over-bake and do not remove them from the hot cookie sheet.

And that’s it! Easy, peasy. Now go get started and don’t forget to share your pictures on Instagram with #CreativeGlazeChallenge.

Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

Glaze Family Update + A New Favorite Product WaterWipes

By Jessica • July 14, 2019
Four kids, I have four kids! Sometimes (well, every day if I’m being honest) I have to remind myself that I have FOUR kids to be responsible for. If I’m not forgetting to keep an eye on my mischievous 2-year-old, then I’m walking out the door for dinner without dropping a jar of baby food into my bag. (Fries for dinner never hurt anyone, right? That’s what Mr. August survives on once a week at least.) Life as a parent can be chaotic sometimes. #thisisparenthood Thank God my two older kiddos are basically self-sufficient otherwise we would never be able to leave the house. Being responsible for four other human beings (Sometimes five if my husband is in town, am I right ladies?) is so hard!

How To Prepare Your Kitchen For The Holidays With Frigidaire

By Jessica • November 18, 2017
It’s no secret that I am no fan of winter. If you live up north like we do now, you know just how cold, cold is and I can barely survive the frozen temperatures. Even though I would happily leave behind the cold, but there is nothing I love more than Thanksgiving and Christmas! Best holidays of the year, hands down!

Away We Go, Again

By Jessica • September 13, 2017
It has been three years since we left behind our life in California. Three years since we made the announcement that we were moving to Canada. Three years since we started a new adventures as immigrants in a country that is so close to home, yet so very different. And now, after three life changing years, we are on to our next adventure.

The Dreaded Sleep Transition

By Jessica • August 30, 2017
Eli is 5.5 months old, rolling left to right and every other which way, so that means it’s time to ditch the swaddle. *Que the ugly cry.* If you didn’t know, we love swaddling in our home. Rusty and I can count the number of times we have ever had to wake up more than twice a night with one of the three kiddos on our fingers and we thank swaddling for that luck. We start swaddling from day one and we use that as a basis to establish great sleep habits from the beginning that last forever. Sadly, once the skill of rolling is learned, it is no longer safe to swaddling and the transition from swaddled to un-swaddled can be rough. Thankfully, we found the Nested Bean sleep sack this time around and the swaddled/un-swaddled transition has gone perfectly smooth.

Kids’ Cam – Toronto’s Center Island

By Jessica • August 28, 2017
The Glaze Brigade spent the second to last official weekend of summer (which is kind of a joke because summer never actually arrived here in the GTA) at Center Island and we loved it! I’m actually a little bummed that we have lived here for 3 years and only just decided to make the trip on the ferry over to the island.

Two Must Have Items to Fully Enjoy Summer With an Infant

By Jessica • August 14, 2017
We are just three weeks away from the start of the next school year and I am so not ready! There is nothing I love more than the freedom of summer. No school schedules to follow, flexible bedtimes, endless weekend adventures, and daily trips to wherever we can get some sunshine. Sadly, all of that is about to end and I am already planning our next summer.

Rainy Day Fun with Erin Mills Town Centre

By Jessica • July 24, 2017
Since moving to Toronto, the best part of summer is getting outside. Our days are usually filled with trips to the playground, our near by amusement park, riding our scooters around the neighborhood, or taking a fun road trip, but even in the summer, there are days we are stuck inside. Sometimes we spend those rainy days cuddled on the couch, watching a movie and eating junk food, but another fun rainy day activity we enjoy is visiting our local mall.

5 Tasks That Help Teach Personal Responsibility to 1st Graders with Quaker Oats #OvernightSuccess

I was just a little surprised to learn that Carter would be starting kindergarten, at the ripe old age of 3, just a few months after moving to Canada. I considered putting her in a preschool a few days a week, but never did I think I would be sending her to an all day, every day, kindergarten class in a school that holds kids up to the 8th grade. Cue the mommy freak out. Of course, Carter loved it and I had nothing to do worry about.

Sleeping Sound Thanks to Owlet Baby Care

By Jessica • June 12, 2017
My middle child, Monroe, was born with a severe tongue tie, it was actually so severe that he couldn’t swallow. For the first week of his life, we had no idea that his entire tongue was attached to the bottom of his mouth (behind his bottom gums), but over and over again he would choke and sometimes even turn blue. Rusty or I or a nurse would have to suction his airway to get things cleared out. It was the scariest time for me as a parent.

How to Encourage Fathers to Become Hands On Dads

By Jessica • May 17, 2017
Facebook is filled with groups of moms complaining about the lack of help they get from their husbands. Either dad has never changed a diaper, he doesn’t help pick up toys, dad doesn’t help discipline, or he flat out cannot keep the kids alive if he is left alone. I understand that it can be completely frustrating to get no help from the one person that should be helping you the most, so I am going to share with you a few tips that I’ve used to encourage my husband to be a hands on dad.
