Can I make half of a chocolate chip cookie recipe?

Cutting the recipe in half works great. I've done it to many recipes. As far as an egg goes, you have a choice. Either use 1 egg white when you need to use half an egg or beat your one egg, put it in a measuring cup and measure out half of the egg.

I recommend you copy your new quantities onto a piece of paper and work from that. Don't try to do it from the original recipe using your mind to halve the amounts. I tried that in the past and got side-tracked and wound up putting the whole recipe quantities in on an item or two.

Chocolate chip recipes are good for this as well as sugar and spice recipes (like ginger cookies)

One suggestion when you cut the recipe, if the fractions of a cup are difficult, convert it into tablespoons (8 T in 1/2 cup, 16T in 1 cup).

Hope that helps.

Yes, you just cut everything in half (divide by 2). If the recipe calls for 1 1/2 C flour, then you use 3/4 C of flour. You can also make the whole recipe and then freeze half of the baked cookies and take them out a few at a time. You can also freeze half of the dough to bake at a later date.

Yeah it might work but it gonna be hard!

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened 1 1/2 cups white sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 2/3 cup cocoa powder 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Yes, i believe so!

i've done many recipes and did half of the ingredients, and they turn out fine

just make sure u change all the ingredients to half of the original amount :) that was obvious enough, i think...

good luck on those choco chippies!!

:)

yes, this will work. Its just like if you double the recipe, it will still be the same. just half all the ingredients. :)

Yes, it will work fine. It will take a little bit of work on your part to halve all the amounts, but you should have no problem.

Yes you can. But if there is only one egg, then how are you going to split that?

Or make the whole thing and give some away!

Just cut everything in half.. It will still work!

Yes. Its not rocket science-just baking.
