Description
Break all the baking rules with this dangerously addictive chocolate chip cookie recipe. Packed with maple syrup and chaos, it’s the best ‘worst’ decision you’ll ever make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1½ cups mixed chocolate chips and chunks
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt for finishing
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter with both sugars until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and maple syrup.
- Fold in dry ingredients just until combined — do not overmix.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips and chunks.
- Cover and chill dough for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 days.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Scoop 3-tablespoon portions onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are golden and centers still soft.
- Top warm cookies with extra chocolate chips and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring.
Notes
Do not skip the chilling step — it’s crucial for texture and flavor. For best results, use chopped chocolate bars for gooey puddles and irregular bites.
