Dangerously Delectable Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chocolate chip cookies are dangerous. Hence the name of them. But they are sooooooo delectable and delicious! Chewy and soft inside, with big chunks of Lindt milk chocolate. It’s the perfect chocolate chip cookie!
I made the mistake of making these cookies when I was alone. I had no one around to share them with at the moment when they came out of the oven, and smelt heavenly. Once they cooled off, of course I had to try one to see how they came out. Part of me was hoping they came out horrible, just so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat every single one by myself.
After trying my first bite, I knew I was in trouble. They are amazing. The texture is perfect. They taste is phenomenal. I was hooked. So, after my third cookie, I knew I had to control myself, and I did. But holy moly, these cookies are by far the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever made.
I don’t know about you, but Lindt chocolate is my favorite chocolate. I never thought to make chocolate chip cookies using crushed up Lindt chocolate. But I am glad that the idea came to my mind. These will be the only chocolate chip cookie I make now!
I love their milk chocolate. I am not a big dark chocolate fan. But if that is your go to type of chocolate, you can used dark chocolate. I bought a couple of these bars and just crushed them up to make chunks. I have yet to come across chocolate chips by Lindt, but that is an idea!
Lets get into this recipe already! My mouth is watering…
First you want to mix together your dry ingredients: flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and corn starch in a large bowl or a stand mixer.
Mix the ingredients well until combined and there are no chunks of the brown sugar.
Now you want to add your egg, egg yolk, butter and vanilla to dry ingredients.
Mix well until everything is combined and dough starts to stick together and gets hard.
Time for the fun part! You want to crush your Lindt chocolate bars. I used about 1 and a half bars for this recipe. It should come out to around 1 1/2 cups of crushed chocolate. You should have some chocolate left over to munch on :).
I broke up my bars and put them into a plastic baggy and banged them with a glass cup. Big chunks are totally fine for this recipe. Don’t crush them too much or make the pieces too small.
Add the chocolate chunks to the dough and mix the chocolate in until it is well combined with dough.
Use an ice cream scoop, or tablespoon size spoon and place on lined baking sheet with parchment paper.
Depending on how big you make the dough balls, you may have some dough left over to cook a second batch. I got about 16 cookies from this batch of dough.
If you want to get more cookies out of this recipe, either make the balls smaller or double up on the recipe.
Bake for 12-14 minutes. The cookies will still feel and look really soft when they are done, but they will continue to cook while cooling off. Just make sure not to brown them, or over cook them. Especially if you want them to be a more softer/chewy cookie.
And there you have it…dangerously delectable chocolate chip cookies.
Enjoy! I know you will…
