Chocolate chip cookies were invented by accident in the 1930s when Ruth Wakefield ran out of baker's chocolate and decided to use broken pieces of a Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate bar, delighting everyone with the surprise new texture and flavor!
The recipe is from Jessie Jane Daye -- on Instagram.
Ingredients You'll Need
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1 cup milk chocolate chips, divided
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup room temperature unsalted butter, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Use a handheld mixer to blend until the mixture is fluffy and creamy.
Add 1 large room temperature egg and 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
Stir in 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of milk chocolate chips, as well as all the chopped pecans if using.
Use a large ice cream scoop to form 6 giant cookies, stacking two scoops on top of each other for height. Press the remaining 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips into the tops of the dough balls.
Refrigerate the cookie dough balls for 30 minutes to 1 hour to set the dough.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once chilled, bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until they are slightly golden brown on the edges and just set in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your colossal cookies!
