Tiny Chocolate Chip Cookie Cereal

Servings: 100 tiny cookies   

Ingredients:

• 1 stick (4 ounces, 1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients to make a cookie dough. Fold in
   chocolate chips at the end with a spatula or spoon.

   each with a few more chocolate chips for prettier cookies.
4. Bake one sheet pan at a time at 325 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will look slightly
   under-baked, but will continue cooking on the sheet pan as they cool and will stay very
   soft. If you prefer crunchier cookies, you can bake them longer.
5. Cool completely on the sheet pan before moving to an airtight container.
