🍪🍚🍪While we may have missed Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, let’s embrace this month as “Chocolate Chip Cookie Month” with enthusiasm, thanks to our incredible chef and board member, Chef Gason! Be sure to try Chef’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, which feature a special secret ingredient and tips. Check out the recipe below!
Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪
2¼ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon sour cream
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
· Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
· In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
· In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
· Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
· Mix in the 1 tablespoon of sour cream until combined.
· Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated. Don’t overmix.
· Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
· Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
· Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
· Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
🍚🍪Chef Gason’s too-easy tip: For an extra soft, bakery-style cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
