Break Apart Cookie Bites Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds, set aside.
• Place butter in a microwave safe bowl, heat in microwave on HIGH power until butter has melted halfway. Remove and whisk until fully melted. Pour butter into the bowl of an electric stand mixer.
• Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, fit mixer with paddle attachment and blend mixture on medium speed until well combined. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Scoop dough out a slightly heaping 1/2 tsp at a time and drop onto plates (wax paper, whatever). Shape each into a ball, then if desired press 3 - 4 more chocolate chips into top (totally optional, mostly for looks...and more chocolate).
• Align on two parchment paper or silicone baking mat lined baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart. Bake in preheated oven about 5 - 6 minutes (they should still fill soft and slightly under-baked, they will continue to cook slightly once removed from oven so carefully not to over-bake).
• Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet several minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

SUGAR COOKIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Blend flour, butter, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Place dough in a bowl and knead until it comes together.
• Roll dough out onto waxed paper into a 1/2-inch thick square. Cut dough into 1/2-inch squares. Place bites onto a large cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown and edges are set, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Divide vanilla frosting into 3 small bowls. Dye 1 bowl red using red food coloring and 1 green using green food coloring; leave third bowl uncolored. Frost cooled cookies and top with sprinkles as desired.
