Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour in the whole milk and stir gently. The dough will be slightly thicker than muffin batter but looser than cookie dough.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, drop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops look set. Do not overbake, as Mookies are best when soft inside.
Remove from the oven and allow the Mookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
