Chocolate Chipless Cookies
The chocolate is on the side.I'll tell you: cookies with chocolate chips are better without them. Do not get me wrong. I love a good, ooey-gooey chocolate cookie. This recipe for chocolate chipless cookies was created as a result. This recipe has all the warm flavors of brown sugar and chocolate chips, but none of the actual chips. This cookie has a classic chocolate flavor, but I love it so much that it's dipped into a hard chocolate shell made from two ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Stirring constantly while cooking, add butter to a small pan set on medium heat. Cook, stirring continuously, until the butter starts to foam lightly and changes from light yellow to golden, approximately 5 minutes. Turn off the heat when butter starts to brown. Set aside to cool.
- Mix together the brown sugar and butter at room temperature in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to combine everything. Mix vanilla extract, egg yolk and egg into the mixture.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture slowly, one tablespoon at a tim, to butter mixture until well mixed. Refrigerate at least one hour or overnight until chilled.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line one sheet of parchment paper.
- Use an ice-cream scoop to make balls or measure out portions of batter measuring 1 inch. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- In a preheated oven, bake until the edges begin to brown slightly (11 to 12 minutes). Place aside to cool.
- Prepare the chocolate shell while the cookies are cooling. Melt coconut oil in a small dish using the microwave. Stir in chocolate chips until they are completely melted. Set aside.
- Dip each cookie in the chocolate melted to cover half the cookie. Set the cookies on a waxed paper or a clean baking tray to harden. Enjoy! Garnish it with flaky salt.
