Preparation

  1. Make the cookie dough: Add the brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla to a medium bowl and stir to combine evenly. Add ½ cup of flour, stir for 20–30 seconds, then add the remaining ½ cup of flour and mix until fully combined and a soft and smooth dough forms. Add the mini chocolate chips and mix until evenly incorporated Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
