Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips (colorful or regular)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough into evenly sized balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Roll them lightly in your hands to smooth them out and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of each dough ball for a more visually appealing polka dot pattern, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers may still look a bit soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these colorful and cheerful Polka Dot Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
