Small Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
A small batch of cookies are just what you need when you have a persistent cookie craving, but don't want to make a huge batch. They make just 6 cookies, so you won't have an entire batch of 20 cookies staring at you on your kitchen counter. They do require some chill time, but I promise it's worth it! They bake up with a perfectly chewy texture, soft centers, and gooey chocolate. So so good.
