Dream Cookies

dream cookies

my grandma’s famous

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon baker's ammonia (this is an old school leavener - you can order it online, you can also replace with baking powder but it will change the texture)

• 1 cup unsalted butter, high-quality, cubed, and softened

• ½ cup sugar

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• Chocolate chips, for topping

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 275˚F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baker’s ammonia.

3. In a separate medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

4. Add the vanilla and continue beating until fully combined.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to incorporate.

6. Roll about 1 ounce of dough at a time in your hands to make walnut-sized balls. They will be small, about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space between each cookie. Using a flat-bottomed measuring cup, gently press down on the cookies to flatten just the top surface. Don’t squish the dough too much.

7. Top each cookie with 3 chocolate chips, there won’t be a lot of space but just squeeze them on.

8. Bake the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown and the edges are crispy.

9. Enjoy!
