  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups Buttermilk

Making the Cookie Dough Mixture

In a small bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. Set aside.

Preparing the Pancake Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Immediately drop small spoonfuls of the cookie dough mixture onto each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula.

Serving the Pancakes

Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
