The Perfect Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Serves: 12
Thick chocolate chip cookie dough that is the perfect base for making decadent stuffed chocolate chip cookies!
Ingredients
◦2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
◦1/2 tsp salt
◦1 tsp baking soda
◦1/2 cup of butter
◦3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
◦3/4 cup of granulated sugar
◦1 1/2 tsp vanilla
◦2 eggs
◦2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Kick the tires and light the fires to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together your butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Beat in the flour, baking soda and salt.
3. When that is done, fold in the two cups of chocolate chips by hand, and prepare to put them on some parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
Voila! This is the only recipe you should use to make stuffed cookies, using a very small of butter in the dough is the real secret here, no melting dough, it holds the “stuffing” firmly in place.
Take a scoop of cookie dough, flatten it slightly to about 1/2 cm thickness and place the peanut butter cup on top.
Take another large scoop and place it on top, then mold and pinch the edges together like you would a perogie or a dumpling. The top of the cookie in your hand will be lovely and flat, thus turning into the bottom!
The reverse shape of the peanut butter cup lends to a great cookie shape, the top is wider and flatter than the bottom, so inverting it straight onto the cookie sheet makes for a perfect cookie.
Because I know it helps readers like myself, I took a measurement of the cookies and most were 2 1/2 inches wide.
I know. I am a geek, I can’t help it.
I always leave a lot more space when trying out something new on a cookie sheet, but I didn’t need to in the slightest. These are not supposed to spread out and they don’t.
Pop those babies into the 350 degree oven for 15-17 minutes, until they are golden brown and ready to come out.
Can I again mention the no huge lumps and bumps and sheer cookie perfection or is it just annoying at this point in time?
I can’t help it, I get excited when recipes turn out so fantastic and I just can’t wait to share with everyone, I am impatient like a child at Christmas.
These are large cookies for sure, but a peanut butter cup is large so this is what will happen.
How large is large, you ask?
Well, just wait while I get out my measuring tape, of course!
These cookies ended up being 3.5 inches wide, meaning only .5 inch spread in each direction, an incredibly small distance for that amount of dough.
And in proportion to my hand, which I would like to think is a normal, nice sized hand. So just large enough not to be crazy.
I think that no matter how hot it is, these cookies should be on your list of Must Bake Now!
