Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add-ins and Decoration
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- Edible glitter or rock candy for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your cookies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and packed brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, then add the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately to allow spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Cool and Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack, then decorate with edible glitter or rock candy to create the stunning geode effect.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Do not overmix the dough once dry ingredients are added to keep cookies tender.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- The decoration with edible glitter or rock candy is best added after the cookies have cooled completely to prevent melting.
- For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake by removing them at 10 minutes.
