Chipless Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP-LESS COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment to cream together the softened butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. (Or you can do this using a hand mixer.) Add egg and vanilla, and mix until combined, about 1 minute.
• Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt, and beat on medium-low speed until combined. (I break the rules and usually just sprinkle these dry ingredients evenly over the top of the dough and then mix them in. But if you'd like to make sure they're super evenly mixed, just whisk together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl before adding them to the dough.)
• Shape the dough into balls that are about 1-inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10-20 minutes, or until the dough is chilled through. (This will help prevent the cookies from spreading out too flat when they bake.)
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just set. The centers may look slightly undercooked. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve immediately or store in a sealed container for up to 1 week. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 3-4 months.

"CHIPLESS" CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Brown the butter by melting it in a medium saucepan until it starts to bubble and foam. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, a couple of more minutes until the solids in the butter start to turn golden and caramelize. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn, once it starts to brown it goes pretty quickly.
• Remove the browned butter from the heat and allow to cool partially.
• Once mostly cooled, add the two sugars and molasses to the pan and whisk to combine.
• Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and salt, and combine well. Then whisk in the baking powder and baking soda and whisk until smooth.
• Finally, add the the flour and fold everything together until the dough is formed and there are no dry, unmixed bits of flour remaining.
• Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Roll the dough into balls about the size of large walnuts. This batch makes 18 large-ish cookies, or you can make them whatever size you like, just make sure to adjust your baking time accordingly. Press them down slightly on the baking sheet, and leave about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
• Bake for about 15 minutes until slightly puffed up and starting to go a bit brown around the edges. Don't over bake!
• Allow to cool on the pan for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a baking rack to finish cooling.

CHOCOLATE CHIPLESS COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a small saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue to cook the butter until it turns golden brown, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
• Pour browned butter into a large bowl and add the sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Add the egg and egg yolk, stirring for 30 seconds after each. Let batter rest for about 5 minutes, then stir vigorously for about 30 second. Batter should lighten in texture and color.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the cookie batter all at once and stir until no streaks of flour remain.
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto the prepared sheet pan. Bake until cookies turn golden around the edges but centers aren't completely set, about 9-11 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

SISSY'S CHIPLESS "CHOCOLATE CHIP" COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and instant pudding in a bowl and mix well.
• Beat butter, both sugars, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until creamy. I like to microwave two unwrapped sticks of butter about 15 seconds in addition to leaving them on the counter for a few hours to soften.
• Add eggs, one at a time, and beat each one well after you add it inches.
• Gradually add in flour mixture.
• Add 1 tablespoon of milk to help mix the dough.
• Cover bowl and refrigerate for about a half hour so that the dough isn't melty when you drop it onto the cookie sheet.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (most recipes say 375 -- I say keep it at 350).
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets very LIGHTLY sprayed with Pam. (Sometimes I like to lightly flour my hands and roll teaspoon sized hunks of dough into smooth balls. I then drop them onto the lightly sprayed sheet and press them lightly with two fingers.).
• Never drop the dough onto a hot baking sheet or it will begin to melt before it is in the oven -- NEVER a good thing.
• Bake about 7-8 minutes. They're done when the edges are browned and the middles puffy. They should look more undercooked than usual cookies but they should NOT look like their middles are still wet or oily looking. If that's the case, continue baking but keep an eye on them. Make SURE the oven rack is not too close to the heat source. You don't want to burn the bottoms!
• They should be soft, delicious, and chip free!
• (If you like chips, I use semi-sweet chocolate chunks sometimes in this recipe but I don't add in too many. The chocolate shouldn't take over the cookie.).
