Chocolate Chip Cookies

Intro:

My favorite version of a chocolate chip cookie.

Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks (16 Tbsp) Unsalted butter

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1½ cups brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 11 ½ ounces all purpose flour

  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ¾ tsp cinnamon

  • Chocolate chips

  • Nuts (walnuts or your favorite)

  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions:

  • Start by browning 2 sticks of unsalted butter. Once brown, place in a measuring cup and refrigerate for 1 hour or until it’s re-solidified.

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter along with ½ cup of white sugar and 1 ½ cups of brown sugar. Mix well to combine.

  • Next add 2 cold eggs to the mixture, and mix to combine.

  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 11 ½ ounces of all purpose flour, 1 Tbsp of kosher salt, ½ tsp of baking soda, and ¾ tsp of cinnamon.

  • Add half of dry ingredients to the stand mixer, mix to combine, and then add the other half of the dry ingredients. This helps keep your gluten down.

  • Add your chocolate chips, stir just until everything is well combined and remove dough from mixer. Place in a bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour or as long as 2 days.

  • Optional: You can toast some nuts and add those to your cookie dough as well.

  • Roll your cookie dough into balls and then break in half and set on cookie sheet. This will help give the cookies a rustic look. Bake in a 350°F oven for 12-17 minutes or until they’ve reached your preferred doneness. Top with a little bit of sea salt.

  • Let cool for a few minutes, serve and enjoy.
