Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 10 Tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (163g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup (266g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) chocolate chips, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your cookies just when the dough is prepared.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a stand mixer bowl or using an electric hand mixer, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated into the creamed mixture.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the finely chopped chocolate chips into the dough to distribute them evenly without breaking the chips.
  6. Shape cookie dough: Roll the dough into a log or flatten it, freeze for 10 minutes, then cut into small 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon-sized square portions. Roll each piece into a small ball and arrange them spaced on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  7. Bake: Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 8 to 10 minutes until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges but remain slightly soft in the center.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to harden to the desired crunchiness. Serve with a bowl of milk for the ultimate nostalgic treat.
  9. Store: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness and crispness.

Notes

  • Freezing the dough before cutting ensures easier handling and helps maintain the cookie crisp shape.
  • Chopping the chocolate chips finely spreads the chocolate evenly throughout the cookie and mimics cookie crisp cereal texture.
  • If you prefer softer cookies, reduce baking time by 1-2 minutes.
  • Make sure to cool the cookies completely on the baking sheet for the best crunch.
  • These cookies keep well in an airtight container but may lose some crispness after 4 days.
