🎄 Ultimate Crumbl Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe 🍪
Servings: 12 large cookies
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 11 minutes
Total Time: 26 minutes
Calories per Cookie: Approximately 320 kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 ¼ cups packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar (try coconut sugar for a healthier twist)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the cold cubed butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
- Portion and Bake: Scoop the dough into large balls, about ¼ cup each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
🎅 Notes & Variations
- Holiday Decorations: For an extra festive touch, press a few Christmas-colored M&Ms into the tops of each cookie before baking.
- Nutty Twist: Add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for a nutty crunch.
- Healthier Option: Substitute some of the flour with whole wheat flour and reduce the sugar for a lighter version of this holiday treat.
These cookies are everything you want in a holiday dessert: chewy, chocolatey, and irresistibly delicious! Enjoy them with friends and family and spread the Christmas cheer, one cookie at a time. 🎉
