About Mini Cookies
Golden Corral Mini Cookies cost $4.99 and carry 740 calories. Small soft baked cookies that come with every Individual Meal and sit at the dessert bar in trays, usually chocolate chip and sugar varieties depending on the day.
The cookies are the item most guests never order deliberately because they arrive free with meals, but they are also the most kid friendly dessert in the building. Soft baked rather than crisp, they hold well in a To Go box. The recipe below makes the soft centered version rather than a crunchy cookie.

How to Make Mini Cookies at Home?
Soft cookies come from more brown sugar, slightly underbaking, and pulling them while the centers still look wet.

Tips
- Pull them early. Cookies that look done in the oven are hard by the time they cool.
- Chilled dough spreads less, giving a thicker, softer cookie.
- A pinch of flaky salt on top before baking sharpens the chocolate.
Variations
- Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate and macadamia.
- Add oats and raisins for an oatmeal version.
- Press M&Ms on top for a kids party batch.
Serving Ideas
- Serve warm with milk.
- Sandwich two around a scoop of soft serve.
- Crumble over ice cream as a topping.
