Day 4: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 6, 2014 by kim Leave a Comment

Day 4: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, because one chocolate is never good enough. It’s truly Christmas over at my house.. the Christmas tree is lit, I’m bundled up in blankets, and “Love Actually” is playing on my T.V. Oh, I’m such a sucker for this movie. The people, the love stories, the scandalousness, the heartbreaks… I can’t handle it. I’ve seen it at least twenty times and it’s still good.

A plate of cookies and a tall glass of milk are the perfect addition to Christmas movie watching. I ate a cookie the size of my face yesterday and couldn’t have been happier. Cookies can do that to you, you know. Calories don’t count in December (or the end of November).

I admit that I cheated a bit on these cookies because I used the recipe from my favorite chocolate chip cookies and added white chocolate chips to the mix. A brand new cookie with an old recipe, so you know these are already good.

You could sub all of the milk chocolate for white for those that are anti-chocolate. Yes, those people exist and I totally don’t judge! There are a lot more white chocolate lovers out there than you think.

Day 4: Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon.
Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour. When it’s time, Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Day 3: Mama’s Peanut Butter Cookie

Day 3: Mama’s Peanut Butter Cookie. In all seriousness, I think that peanut butter cookies are the easiest cookies to make. There aren’t that many ingredients and it usually turns out perfect, no matter what the recipe. That’s why I don’t necessarily have a “go-to” peanut butter cookie recipe yet. They’re all good!

These are no exception to that assumption. They’re sweet with a hint of salty, packed full of peanut butter flavor, thick, and practically melt in your mouth. If that doesn’t describe a good peanut butter cookie, then I don’t know what does.

I like the addition of rolling the dough into sugar prior to baking. Peanut butter cookies are better to me when they’re just a tad bit on the sweeter side.

Day 2: Nutella Kiss Cookies

Day 2: Nutella Kiss Cookies. You might as well call these “be my boyfriend/girlfriend now, cookies” because that’s exactly what they’ll do. Everyone will love you for these babies!

I still had my jumbo sized double pack Nutella from Costco waiting to be devoured and since I pretty much just use it for baking, I wanted to include something in my 12 days of cookies with Nutella. There are many versions of these “Kiss” cookies, but I think this one takes the cake.

Even without the Hershey’s Kiss, these cookies are marvelous on their own. I actually prefer them that way because I can eat unlimited cookies but only so many Kisses. I realized while watching people eat these (that doesn’t sound creepy at all) that after the first two cookies consumed, people tend to take off the Kiss to eat the next cookie.

Granted, there area always chocolate lovers that will gladly eat the removed Kiss from anyone else’s cookie. To each their own.
