Luis & Stacey’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 480g all-purpose flour
- 6g baking soda
- 8g baking powder
- 8g coarse salt
- 148g shortening
- 148g butter
- 250g light brown sugar
- 150g granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 10ml vanilla extract
- 280g chocolate chips (more or less)
- sea salt (for topping)
Note
Makes about 30 cookies. Unless you press the dough into your cast iron to make one giant cookie and then a bunch of small ones!
Directions
Step 1 | |
Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt into a bowl. | |
Step 2 | |
Cream butter and sugars together until very light in color. Add the eggs. Stir in vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add chocolate. Press plastic wrap on surface dough and refrigerate at least half the day. | |
Step 3 | |
Set on the counter a gallon-size plastic bag or a lined cookie sheet. With an ice cream scoop, dole out individual scoops of very cold dough and add to plastic bag or cookie sheet. Do this until all of the dough is gone. Freeze. (You can add the cookies from the sheet to the plastic bag later if you want to reduce the likelihood that they will stick to each other in the plastic bag.) Once they’re frozen, you’re ready to heat and eat as many as you’d like at a time! | |
Step 4 | |
Heat oven to 350. Line cookie sheet – or use a cast iron pan! – and place frozen balls of dough a couple of inches apart. Bake for approximately 16 minutes until cookies are light brown on top. Remove from oven and let sit in pan for about 10 minutes to firm up before serving. Cookies should be enjoyed warm, but not so hot that they fall apart. |
