This Gideon's Bakehouse Cookie Recipe takes soft, delicious cookies and completely coats them with chocolate chips and sea salt, without any day-before prep!

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar (tightly packed)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
  • sea salt for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, use a stand or hand mixer to cream together butter, shortening, and sugar until combined (your batter won't be smooth at this point).

  2. 2

    Add your eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until just combined.

  3. 3

    Next, add your flour, baking soda, and salt and whisk again until smooth. Use a spatula to push any flour or baking soda that got caught on the sides of the bowl into the dough.

  4. 4

    Set 1/2 cup of chocolate chips aside and add 1 cup to the dough. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix. At this point, your dough may seem a little bit crumbly, but that's okay.

  5. 5

    Use clean hands to divide the dough into 6 roughly even parts (about a fistful for each cookie). Roll the dough in between your two hands to form a round sphere, then lightly push your hands together so that the dough is a little bit taller than it is wide.

  6. 6

    Add your shaped dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a reusable baking mat leaving at least 2 inches of space between each cookie.

  7. 7

    Place the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for at least one hour (or up to 24 hours) to chill.

  8. 8

    Preheat your oven to 325°F and bake for 12-14 minutes. The cookies should be very slightly underdone.

  9. 9

    Grab a handful of chocolate chips and lightly press them into the top of the just-baked cookie (this is a slightly messy, but totally worth it process). You should be left with an outer shell of chocolate chips.

  10. 10

    Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt and let cool at least one hour before digging in. Enjoy!
