Does anyone else have this issue where you literally CAN’T sit down and do absolutely nothing?
I could NOT lay on the couch and watch Netflix episodes without doing something to keep me busy for the LIFE OF ME! Might be a sickness haha.. but I have been a busy body my entire life!
Since I’ve started Parenthood on Netflix I lately love to prop my laptop up on the counter and bake while I plow through some episodes.
On Monday afternoon I found a cookie recipe on Pinterest and wanted to try it out since I had to bring a dessert to my families BBQ for Memorial Day.
The cookies turned out GREAT so I had to share the recipe because they really were such a success!
If I find a good recipe I find it my public duty to share it haha.
The recipe made A LOT of mini cookies so I took the leftovers that we didn’t eat into work the next day and they were devoured in less than 30 minutes!
The recipe is from Cooking Classy and mine totally didn’t turn out nearly as cute as hers did… but they tasted DELISH. All that matters right?! 😉
Recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping if desired
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds, set aside.
- Place butter in a microwave safe bowl, heat in microwave on HIGH power until butter has melted halfway. Remove and whisk until fully melted. Pour butter into the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, fit mixer with paddle attachment and blend mixture on medium speed until well combined. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough out a slightly heaping 1/2 tsp at a time and drop onto plates (wax paper, whatever). Shape each into a ball, then if desired press 3 – 4 more chocolate chips into top (totally optional, mostly for looks…and more chocolate). Align on two Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart. Bake in preheated oven about 5 – 6 minutes (they should still fill soft and slightly under-baked, they will continue to cook slightly once removed from oven so carefully not to over-bake). Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet several minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
ENJOY!
I loved them.
