Ingredient Swaps and Additions
Feel free to get creative! Swap semisweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate for a richer taste or use chopped nuts for added texture. Pumpkin spice can be an alternative to cinnamon for a fuller fall flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
3. Using a large bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the egg and blend well.
4. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture until just combined.
5. Divide the dough in half. Mix semisweet chocolate chips into one half. Into the other half, fold in cocoa powder, cinnamon, and white chocolate chips.
6. Form marble-like dough balls by gently pressing portions of each dough together.
7. Arrange dough balls on the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
9. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect on their own or paired with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee. For an indulgent option, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Pro Tips for Success
Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing. Don’t over-mix the batter; combine until ingredients are just incorporated to ensure the perfect cookie texture.
Storing and Reheating
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you need to refresh them, a quick 10-second zap in the microwave will do the trick!
FAQ Section
