Smoked Chocolate Chip Cookies
There are few things in life as satisfying as that first bite of a perfectly cooked, warm chocolate chip cookie, dipped in milk. I don't what it is about that combo, but just thinking about it makes my taste buds salivate. I've made a lot of cookies on my smoker, but these smoked chocolate chip cookies are the best ones I've made by far.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 stick butter room temp
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 ½ cups flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips Hershey's Chocolate and Toffee Bits
Instructions
- Cream your butter and sugar together
- Once the butter is creamed (usually about 4-5 minutes on medium speed), add the eggs and vanilla. Continue mixing for an additional minute.
- Put flour, salt, and baking soda in a sifter. Sift it into your creamed butter mixture
- Scrape the sides of your mixing bowl with a rubber spatula, and then turn your mixer on to low.
- Let it mix a little, and then scrape the sides again. STOP mixing when there are one or two streaks of flour left in the cookie dough.
- Scrape the sides of your bowl and pour in a cup of chocolate chips - I used Hershey's Chocolate and Toffee bits - and turn the mixer to low again. It should take just a few turns for the chocolate pieces to be well incorporated.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tbsp) drop evenly spaced dollops of cookie dough onto the cookie sheet.
- Preheat your smoker to 350 degrees. Place the cookie sheet in your smoker, and let them cook for about 12 minutes.
- Let them sit on a cooling rack while you continue to cook the additional cookies. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
