Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies??

So about a month ago, we went to visit Joy and Jason in Leo.  After done touring Gateway Woods, Nicole Weigand was so kind to share some wonderful cookies with us.  They were the normal mini sized cookies and were so yummy.  I asked her for her recipe and she informed me that this was what she followed PLUS added 2 T. of flax seed.  Yeah, now they were even healthier.  So today Elijah and I set out to make what we invisioned some mini chocolate chip cookies.

As we were making them we thought it interesting how small of an amount of dough sat in our bowl??  And it says it makes 48 mini cookies??  How was that ever going to happen with this tiny amount of dough??

When we got down to the final instructions of putting the dough on the cookie sheet we realized exactly why they could get 48 mini cookies out of it........

.....it called for 1/2 TEASPOON of dough per cookie.....huh???  1/2 TEASPOON???  Was I reading that correctly?  Never heard of such a thing.  I then noticed that this was a Weight Watchers recipe as well.  Which then made this all alot more funny.  Elijah and I were rolling in laughter as we kept throwing out funny comments over these tiny little morsels!!
"Don't choke on these!" "Don't eat it all in one bite!" " Be careful, you might only get one chip in each cookie", "OR maybe each cookie will just consist of one chip and no dough". "there are many mini chocolate chip cookies on this tray(48 in be exact).  Anyways, it got to be so funny I was almost in tears laughing so hard. 

 Yes, we actually used a 1/2 teaspoon to measure out the cookies.  It took a LONG time, when really we could have used a normal mini scoop cookie scoop and been done in 3 cookies:).

 Now tell me weight watcher fans out there......how in the world do you eat just ONE of these coookies??  One cookie = one point!!  Guess I just ate myself 4 points in cookies.

Yep, I even had to get out the quarter to show the size of them.  I think the recipe should say Barely There Chocolate Chip Cookies.

PS....they were so good.  Soft and yummy!  Next time I plan to triple the recipe and actually make mini chocolate chip cookies!  (They were NO WHERE near as good as Nicole Weigands though).  Gotta ask her what else she did to hers.
