Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Healthier lower sugar Mini Chocolate Cookies. Brilliant for after school snacks or to pop into packed lunches for kids
My kids are obsessed with those packets of mini cookies that you buy in the supermarket. I have no issue with them eating shop-bought snacks but I also like to have a couple of batches of home made snacks made every week. It’s all part of a balanced diet right!
So I’ve made my own version of the mini cookies with less ingredients than the the shop bought version and less sugar too.
If this kind of thing is up your street then you can check out more of my Snack Recipes For Kids here.
How To Make Mini Cookies
Here’s step by step images of how I make these Mini Cookies. They are honestly really easy to make and everything gets mixed in one bowl.
Whisk together unsalted butter and sugar then add vanilla extract and one egg and whisk again.
Add the dry ingredients – flour, oats, bicarbonate of soda and chocolate chips and mix with a spoon.
Take a teaspoon of the mixture at a time and add to a lined baking tray.
Then mould them into round cookie shapes.
They bake in the oven in just 10 minutes.
It’s important to leave the cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes. The cookies will still be soft when they come out of the oven but they will crisp up as they cool.
Substitutions
If you have food allergies in your family then there are some easy substitutions that you can make in this recipe.
Gluten Free – you can use gluten free flour and oats in this recipe
Dairy Free – you can substitute the butter for a dairy free spread and the chocolate chips for a dairy free alternative
Egg Free – you can use an egg replacer too
Chocolate Chips – if your child’s school doesn’t allow any chocolate in their lunchbox you can simply omit the chocolate chips. The cookies will still be delicious!
Storing & Freezing
These Mini Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days. They have no preservatives like shop-bought cookies so after 3 days they will start to become a bit soft.
They can also be frozen. Add to a container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. They will defrost in about an hour at room temperature, so you can put them straight from the freezer into lunchboxes.
