how to make Inside Out Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients :

• ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg (room temperature)
• 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ⅓ cup dutch processed cocoa powder
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions :

1. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter with the white sugar and light brown sugar for 2 minutes. The mixture should be light, fluffy, and slightly paler in color.

2. Stop the mixer and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat again on medium speed for 1 minute until well combined.

3. Stop the mixer and add all of your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Beat on low speed to avoid creating a mess. Remember to stop the mixer once more and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything mixes well.

4. Fold in the white chocolate chips. Cover the dough and place it in the fridge for 45-60 minutes. This dough is sticky, so chilling will help with scooping.

5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

6. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough and place it on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie; aim for 6 cookie dough balls per baking sheet.

7. Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes. Once out of the oven, gently press on extra chocolate chips to give them that beautiful bakery look!

how to serve Inside Out Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are best served warm, just out of the oven. You can enjoy them on their own or serve them alongside a cold glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat. They’re also perfect for sharing at gatherings, making them a crowd-pleaser.

how to store Inside Out Chocolate Chip Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay good for about a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies by placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Just remember to let them cool completely before freezing.
