Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (255 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (100 grams) crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1 cup (227 grams) softened butter
- 2 large eggs
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Binding and Texture Agents:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup blue food coloring
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F (175C), preparing a baking surface with parchment paper or ungreased cookie sheets.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate mixing container, whisking thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Using an electric mixer, blend butter (or coconut oil), brown sugar, and white sugar until achieving a creamy, light texture with no sugar granules visible.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and eggs (or flax eggs), mixing until completely integrated and the mixture appears smooth and uniform.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring just until combined without overworking the dough to maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, and blue food coloring, distributing ingredients evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for light golden-brown edges as an indicator of doneness, which signals perfectly baked cookies.
- Transfer cookies to wire cooling racks, allowing them to set and reach room temperature before serving or storing.
Notes
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips like milk, dark, or white chocolate for unique flavor variations.
- Replace crushed sandwich cookies with gluten-free alternatives to make the recipe celiac-friendly.
- Reduce blue food coloring for a subtler color or omit entirely for a more natural appearance.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
