Chocolate Chipless Cookies

Created by: Courtney
Cook Time 12 minutes
Chill Time 30 minutes
Yield: 21 cookies
Chocolate chipless cookies may sound unusual at first, but one bite and you’ll understand the hype. These golden, buttery cookies skip the chips and let the rich, vanilla brown sugar dough shine all on its own. With crisp edges and soft centers, they’re a minimalist’s dream and a delicious twist on the classic favorite. 

Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) baking soda
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (330 g) dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 (2) large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp (12 g) flaky sea salt optional

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar for a few minutes on medium speed until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed until combined and smooth. Pour in the flour mixture and mix on low speed until the cookie dough comes together. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Use a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) to portion the cookie dough. Place the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet pan and chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
  • While the cookie dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350℉ (177℃). Line baking sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. 
  • Place the chilled cookie dough balls on the prepared pans, allowing room for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 12 to 13 minutes until the edges are set and the centers of the cookies are slightly underbaked. Cool the cookies on the pan for 2 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container or in a resealable storage bag at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
