Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter melted
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tsp cornstarch
¼ + 1/8 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
milk to serve

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Pour the butter, brown sugar and white sugar into a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until fully incorporated. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl, then add to the sugar mixture and combine. Add the chocolate chips and mix once more.
Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper, and scoop out 1/2 teaspoon-sized balls of dough and arrange them on the baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 6 minutes, then allow them to cool for 5 minutes on a baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Pour the cookies into a bowl, fill with milk and enjoy! These aren’t as crispy as store bought cookie cereal, so they don’t stay as crispy as long, so if you’d like the cookies to stay crispy longer, bake them for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer and leave out overnight for the cookies to dry out.

Notes

Storage Directions

At room temperature - These cookies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to five days.

In the refrigerator - The cookies will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.

In the freezer - For best results, freeze teaspoon-sized portions of dough on a baking sheet. Once they’re frozen solid, transfer them to a plastic bag or airtight container for easy storage. When you’re ready for a bowl of crisp cookie cereal, bake them right out of the freezer for just a few extra minutes. With this method, you can have cookies at any time!
