All my friends have been asking for my cookie recipe, you know, the one I use on a day-to-day basis, the easy and simple chocolate chip for everyone.
I have to admit to everyone that due to the high volume of cookies I make, I rarely do cook a full batch. Thus, I make a half batch. And when I make a half batch, it is never worth all the liquidity of an entire egg. So… I use liquor! I know it sounds strange, but it gives it a nice crispiness on the outside and a softness on the inside. So its my new favorite trick.
You’ll need:
- 1/2 c brown sugar (100 g)
- 1/2 c butter (115 g)
- 1 t vanilla extract (5 ml)
- 1-2 T liquor (rum, whiskey, a flavored something of your choice!) (15-30 ml)
- 1 t salt (5 ml)
- 1 t baking soda (5 ml)
- 1 c flour (125 g)
- 1 T corn starch (15 ml)
- 1/2 c chopped up chocolate or chocolate chips (84 g)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325* F ( 160*C)
- Mix brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and liquor until creamy and well blended.
- Add salt, baking soda, and corn starch
- Add half of the flour and stir until incorporated. Add remaining flour.
- Add chocolate.
- Divide into round 2T dough balls and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed down with cooking oil.
- Bake for 8 minutes in preheated oven.
- Makes around 12-18 cookies.
- Enjoy!
