One Bowl Cookie Dough

Nothing beats my Best Ever (Not Kidding) Chocolate Chip Cookies, but these are a contender! I use this recipe to stuff the cookie dough with a surprise middle (see below for recipe links). The cornstarch combined with flour can “soften” harsh proteins resulting in a more tender baked good.

I love to use chocolate bars and chop them rather than the chips, however I did not in the picture below. I usually chop a 4-ounce chocolate bar that shaves the chocolate and you get bits and small slivers added into the dough. There is chocolate in every single bite! Who doesn’t love this?

Use these to make stuffed Nutella, peanut butter cup, Mint cookies….or roll and bake!

For these bakery style cookies, the edges will be golden because your butter is browning. Unlike softening your butter, we have melted the butter to give that gooey texture and slightly crispy edge.

They may not look done after 11 minutes, but leaving them on the pan for 1 or 2 minutes will help continue to bake the center without over-baking the rest of the cookie!
