Dubai Chocolate Chip Cookies
Think you’ve met every chocolate chip cookie out there? Not this one! Dubai chocolate chip cookies are studded with pistachio cream-filled chocolate with crispy, flaky layers that take it over the top.
Servings: 14
Equipment
- baking sheets
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk , at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups Dubai chocolate bar, rough chopped*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut your cold 1 cup unsalted butter into tablespoon sized chunks and microwave for one minute. The butter will be par-melted, do not melt the butter completely.
- Cream the soft butter and sugars until smooth ~ work out any lumps in your brown sugar. I use my stand mixer, you can also use electric beaters if you like.
- Blend in the 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk , and 2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Blend in the 1 tsp baking soda, and the slowly add the 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour with the mixer on low.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then gently fold in the chopped 2 cups Dubai chocolate bar.
- Use a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop to portion out balls of dough and place 2 inches apart on your cookie sheet. I get about 6 cookies to a sheet, and I bake the sheets separately for even baking and best results.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until the cookies are just barely beginning to turn golden around the edges. (They may still look slightly puffed, that's fine.) Right after you take the cookies out of the oven rap the pan sharply on a hard surface a few times ~ this will deflate and flatten the slightly puffed cookies and create those gorgeous wrinkly edges.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
*If your kitchen is warm or it's a hot day and your chocolate is soft you can pop it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm it up ~ this helps the chunks hold their shape in the baked cookies.
