Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring incorporated air for a tender texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to distribute the raising agent and salt evenly.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough which can toughen the cookies.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookie Sticks: Roll the dough into sticks approximately 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheets with about 2 inches of space in between to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown, indicating they are cooked through and crispy.
- Cool: Allow the cookie sticks to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, ensuring they set properly and maintain their crispness.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.
- Do not overmix after adding flour to keep cookies tender.
- Spacing sticks properly prevents them from merging during baking.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup.
- Store cooled cookie sticks in an airtight container to preserve freshness and crispness.
