These
cookies will have a soft crisp and chewy consistency right out of the freezer.
They taste good warm or room temperature, but the freezer makes them better!
If
your freezer is colder than mine, let the cookies thaw a few minutes. If you
want to try another yummy taste, omit the dark chocolate and add white
chocolate morsels instead. You could also add an extra ¼ cup of chopped
macadamia nuts to the white chocolate.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup (stick) unsalted, soft butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 11/4 cup sifted flour
- Pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup dark chocolate morsels
Directions
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Using a fork, in a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar
together, add vanilla and egg, and mix until incorporated.
In a large separate
bowl, sift and mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Using a fork,
slowly stir in flour mixture to sugar mixture, stir until soft sticky dough
forms and all are combined (don’t over work it).
Next, fold in chocolate
morsels.
Transfer to a clean bowl. Spoon 1 teaspoon of dough per cookie onto a
non-greased cookie pan or sheet, and place the dough at least 2 inches apart or
you'll end up with one large cookie. Keep the
remaining dough covered, and in the refrigerator until all the cookies are
baked. And, don’t put raw dough on a hot cookie pan.
Bake for 9 minutes or until light, golden brown
(time may vary depending on your oven). As soon as you remove the baked cookies
flatten them with a spatula if they are not flat. Let the cookies cool on the
pan for 5 minutes before you remove them for further cooling.
Keep the baked cookies in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag; eat them straight from the freezer. Not telling you how long they will keep because they will not be around long enough to worry about it :) Don't forget to share!
