Looking for a cozy winter treat? Try this Winter Wonderland Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe. These cookies are soft, sweet and full of chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons winter sprinkles or crushed candy optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This helps the cookies bake evenly and not stick.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir well and set aside. This keeps your cookies light and fluffy.
Beat the Butter and Sugar
- In another bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. This step gives your cookies a sweet and rich flavor.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat again until everything is well mixed. This makes your cookies soft and moist.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
- Add the dry ingredients slowly to the wet mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Add Chocolate and Sprinkles
- Add both chocolate chips and any winter sprinkles or candy. Mix them gently into the dough. Each bite will have chocolate goodness and winter sparkle.
Shape the Cookies
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto the baking tray. Leave space between each cookie as they will spread.
Bake the Cookies
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. The centers should look soft. They will set as they cool.
Cool and Enjoy
- Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes. Then move them to a cooling rack. Enjoy warm with milk or hot cocoa.
Notes
- Use melted butter for chewy cookies.
- Do not overmix the dough.
- Add more white chocolate for extra sweetness.
- Chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking if you want thicker cookies.
- Decorate with snowflake sprinkles for a winter look.
