Chocolate Chip Cookies
Crisp edges, soft middles. The cold Irish butter is what makes them.
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 brick grassfed Irish butter, cold
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels (one 12 oz package)
Method
- 1 Get set.
Preheat the oven to 375°. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl.
- 2 Cream the butter.
Cut the cold butter into cubes, then beat it with both sugars and the vanilla in a large bowl until creamy.
- 3 Add the eggs.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- 4 Bring it together.
Gradually beat in the flour mixture, just until no dry streaks remain.
- 5 Stir in the chocolate.
Fold in the morsels with a wooden spoon, along with any small helpers standing by.
- 6 Bake.
Drop rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets and bake 9 to 11 minutes, until golden brown. Let them sit on the sheet for 2 minutes, then move to wire racks to cool.
A few notes.
- — One brick of Irish butter is 8 ounces, the same as two regular sticks. The grassfed butter is what makes these taste richer than the ones on the back of the bag.
- — Pull them when the centers still look a touch underdone. They finish setting on the hot sheet.
- — The dough freezes beautifully. Scoop it into balls first and bake straight from frozen, a minute or two longer.
