Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 small Roasted garlic cloves
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mash the roasted garlic cloves into a smooth paste using a fork or the back of a spoon.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and the roasted garlic paste until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy the intriguing balance of sweet and savory flavors.
