This photo is of the Stars of the Show. These my friends are itty bitty “Cookie Chips”.
How did you get them that small you asked? You freekin pipe 3 full cookie sheets of these little bastards(can you tell I am a bit bitter?) Ok..now imagine piping regular consistency cookie dough through a tiny tip!!!???!!!! Um, Ya, it sucked! I was cursing Rita after about 3 minutes!LOL. But let me tell you, it was well worth it. My husband was sad when I packed them up to put them in the fridge for the evening! He REALLY enjoyed these!
On the top photo, I would love to say that I spritzed the food with water for a fancy photo. But nope, that is HUMIDITY! AGGGHHHHH! The second I walked outside, the water condensation was everywhere!Not to mention what my hair looked like!
Here is how to make em..
1/2 stick (4 oz) butter room temperature
6 tbs sugar
6 tbs brown sugar
1 egg
6 1/2 oz flour
1/4+1/8 tspn salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
9 oz chocolate of your choice
Beat butter and both sugars just until they come together. Don’t over-beat. Add the egg and beat just until incorporated. Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder and add to the batter. Stir just until blended and put into a pastry bag with a small round tip.
Drop into a cookie sheet pulling up so the dough get a thin point, characteristic of the chips. Bake into a preheated 325ºF oven, for 5 minutes.
Let them cool while you melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Poor the chips over the chocolate and mix until they’re all coated, being careful not to break them. Reserve some to decorate the top of the cookies. Drop by teaspoons onto a tray lined with parchment paper. Decorate with 3 or 4 cookie chips and take to the fridge to harden.
Those are so cute and itty-bitty! Sorry about the humidity it plays havoc with cooking.
Ah yes, the humidity here is horrid as well – hang in there!! In any event, the cookie chips chocolate still looks perfect and delicious to me! :0)
These look so good! I love the idea…but I’m with you after all my years of piping buttercream I would hate to pipe cookie dough through a number 5 or number 12
Thanks for the warning!
I saw this on Rita’s blog, too and just love the idea! Yours are so cute. Congrats on all the awrds. I’ve just tagged you if you have time.
Lol! I’ve told you to prepare yourself to the massive pipping! I’m glad you like them, can you imagine noy liking them after all the work’ I guess you would have come to Portugal to hit me! Lol! Good to know I’m safe! I adore the little umbrella chips you made!
These look like so much fun! What a cool idea Rita had. You did it well!
what a great idea, and it looks like you did a terrific job with it!
those are some crazy cookies, I can’t believe you piped them all!
Wow you are a rock star. My wrists hirt just thinking about all that piping!! Very impressive and I am sure that they taste as great as they look.
Cheers

Oh those are too stinkin’ cute! But since they’re so much work, doesn’t it make sense for you to just make a humongous batch and then and mail us all a dozen?
how cute are those? I want one! Yum~
Oh Leslie you did a terrific job!! unfortunately aside from food bugs in the kitchen i also have humidity problem too..i remember one time i tried to cook some meringué and they never took the form..they were like flattened “boobs” LOL..
btw, when will we enjoy your videos again??im starting to miss’em
How cute. I love this idea!!! You did a great job.
Awesome… I may need to start stalking.. the photo that is, I could just reach into this screen and help myself LOL!
I remember seeing her recipe and wanting to make them but knowing I didn’t have hers or your patience! I bet it paid off, though. They look so delicious!
I wanted to make these too but thanks for the warning I don’t think I can take the job of piping them out.
