Viewed: 43 - Published at: 5 years agoIngredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup loosely packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup ghee, softened but not liquid
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water or non-dairy milk (+ more as needed)
- about 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Method
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, silicone mat, or oil with a vegetable spray.
- In medium bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, ghee, and both sugars. You can either do this by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula, or in a stand mixer. Make sure the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Add in vanilla and milk or water, and mix.
- Add in the dry ingredients and fold until almost combined. At this point, if you feel like the mixture is too dry, you can add more water or milk. I usually don't need to. Just keep mixing until it resembles a cookie dough : when you squeeze the mixture in between your hands, it should stick together and not crumble. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon measure, portion out the cookies onto the baking sheet. Since you will not be baking them for long, press each cookie down a little to flatten them. (Don't make them too thin though). Sprinkle with flaky salt, if using. Bake for 5 min. Don't worry it will not look fully cooked, but the cookies continue to bake as they cool on the pan, and they will harden a little.
- If you decide to eat them straight out of the oven (which I highly recommend, just be careful not to burn yourself) then beware that they will most likely fall apart and be very gooey. If you let them cool down, they will be firm enough to lift off the pan but still soft. Choose whichever pleases you :)
