Instructions
How To Prepare The Cookies
- Place the butter in a light-coloured saucepan and put it over medium heat. Butter starts to melt and foam up, and as it cooks, its water content evaporates, and the fat content solidifies and turns into brown specks at the bottom of the pan. Once the butter releases a nutty aroma and the bottom of the pan is covered with golden brown specks, remove the butter from the heat, pour it into a bowl, and let it cool slightly.1 cup+1tbsp Butter
- Start by creaming the butter with both sugars like any other cookie recipe. Use the paddle attachment to mix these three ingredients until smooth, creamy, and light in colour.1¼ cup Brown sugar, 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.2 Eggs, 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- Sift all dry ingredients and add them to the mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture.2+1tbsp cups All-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon Baking soda, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon Salt
- This is optional; to enhance the chocolate flavour, add one cup of Mini Chocolate Chips. I like mini chips because they don't change the shape of the cookies and spread into the cookie dough more evenly. Add the chocolate chips and gently mix them in. Do not overmix the cookie dough.1 cup Chocolate chips
- Make small cookie dough balls with a medium-sized (1.7 inch/ 45 MM Ball, 1.5 tablespoon capacity) ice cream scoop. Cover and chill them for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the edible cookie dough. See the below instructions.
How To Make The Edible Cookie Dough
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the flour over the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until you can smell the nutty flour.1 cup All-purpose flour
- Melt the butter and mix in the two sugars until dissolved.½ cup Butter, ⅓ cup Brown sugar, ¼ cup Granulated sugar
- Add the butter mixture to the cool flour and mix.
- Add the salt, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. The mixture should have the consistency of the play dough.¼ teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 2 tablespoon Heavy cream
- Fold in the chocolate chips and mix.⅔ cup Chocolate chips
- Edible cookie dough can be made in advance and reserved in the fridge or freezer.
How To Bake The Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the chilled cookie balls on the baking sheets, leaving two inches of space between them, and bake them for 8-10 minutes or until their edges are set and slightly golden.
- Immediately after you bring them out of the oven, go around their edges with a round cookie cutter to soften their edges and give them a round shape. Sprinkle their top with the edible chocolate chip cookie dough and gently press it down. Let them cool down on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to the cooling rack.
