Blogmas Day 7: The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe I’ve Ever Had

Hello Sunny Siders, happy Blogmas day 7! Today, I am sharing the BEST chocolate chip cookies recipe I’ve ever tried making and I want you all to be able to experience the magic of these cookies.

These are brown butter chocolate chip cookies that I have adapted slightly from a recipe @/samanttha_chen shared on instagram!

Ingredients:

1 C unsalted butter

2.5 C all purpose flour

1 T cornstarch

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 C brown sugar

3/4 C white sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

1 T heavy cream

1 T vanilla extract

Mix of dark chocolate and semi sweet chocolate chips/chunks to your liking

Optional: toasted crushed walnuts or pecans to your liking

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Take the cup of butter and heat in a saucepan on medium/low heat until the butter turns golden and brown (it should smell nice and toasted)

Remove butter from saucepan and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to cool down

Combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt together in a bowl and set aside.

Beat together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.

Add in the egg, egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla.

Slowly add dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix, then fold in chocolate and nuts.

Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes to desired doneness.

Should make about 2 dozen cookies.

Let me know if you try making these delicious cookies. I truly am not exaggerating when I say that I make these on a weekly basis.

Banana Bread Protein Muffins

Hey Sunny Siders, it’s been so long since I’ve shared a recipe with you guys, but today we are changing that and I’m technically sharing two recipes in one!

As one does when they have a surplus of overly ripe bananas they make banana bread! I used one base recipe and altered the fixings based on what I wanted. Today I’ll be sharing cinnamon walnut banana bread muffins and dark chocolate chip banana bread muffins.

Banana Bread Muffins Batter

5 ripe bananas

2 C All purpose flour

3/4 C vanilla protein powder

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 C granulated sugar

1/4 C brown sugar

1/4 C unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla paste (vanilla extract works too)

1/2 C sour cream

Cinnamon Walnut Banana Bread Muffin

1/2 C chopped walnuts

Oatmeal Topping

1/4 C rolled oats

1 T sugar

1 T cinnamon

Dark Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins

1/2 C dark chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F

Whisk together all the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, protein powder, salt, cinnamon)

In a separate bowl combine bananas, eggs, both sugars, vanilla paste, butter, and sour cream until homogenized.

Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until fully incorporated.

At this step either fold in walnuts or chocolate chips.

Line muffin tray with cupcake liners and evenly scoop batter into trays.

For cinnamon banana bread muffins, mix together sugar, cinnamon, and oats. Then sprinkle overtop the muffins.

Bake muffins at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Wait to cooldown and then enjoy!
