I don’t want lousy, cardboard cookies like you buy in a box. After several different experiments playing with shortening vs butter, chilled batter, and fat to flour ratios, this recipe was born. They looked wrinkled and sad, but taste amazing.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Method

1. Preheat over to 350F.
2. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar.
3. Mix in eggs and vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Mix dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients until smooth.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Using a rounded tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls onto a silpat lined cookie sheet. These expand a lot! Only make 8 cookies per sheet!
8. Bake for 10 minutes.
9. Cool cookies for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Adult Themed Variation: add whatever kind of chopped nuts you want to make Scrotum Cookies; wrinkly nut sacks of joy. To make them a little extra, mix together equal parts icing sugar and water and drizzle/splatter icing on them.
