Lauren’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

You’ve actually never eaten a cookie before. This recipe will change your life. Thanks to my Allowlist co-host and Snack Queen, Lauren Tierney, I’ve been changing lives for the last few months with this recipe.

Warning: will cause weight gain… will be worth it.

And a special note: these cookies are maybe even more delicious when used to sandwich vanilla ice cream. Giving credit where credit is due: My understanding is that Lauren got this recipe after her favorite bakery in San Fran, CA closed, a place called Doughbies. It was a devastating day, and then the owner released the secret recipe and all was right with the world again.

Supposedly, this recipe produces roughly 2 dozen cookies.

What You’ll Need

  • 1/2 pound (two sticks) of salted butter, cold and cubed

  • 1 cup of white granulated sugar

  • 1 cup of dark brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs 

  • 1 ½  teaspoons of vanilla

  • 2 ⅔ cups of all purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon of pink himalayan sea salt

  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder

  • 1 package of semi-sweet chocolate chunks (I like Enjoy Life’s big chunkies)

    • I also love to split my recipe up and do 1/2 standard chocolate chip and the other 1/2 smashed Oreo! So if you want to change things up, have at least 6 Oreos on hand to smash up.

  • Sprinkle of Maldon sea salt (for each cookie)

How To Make

Pre-heat oven to 350°F (Ideally, after dough has refrigerated for >12 hrs)

  • Using a mixer, cream together the following ingredients in a large bowl):

    • Butter, white granulated sugar, dark brown sugar. (Note: The butter should be cold, out of the fridge, not room temp. To help your mixer handle this, cut butter into small cubes in advance.)

    • Next, mix in eggs, and vanilla,

  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine the following dry ingredients: Flour, Himalayan sea salt, baking soda, baking powder

  • Now, Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until all dry ingredients are incorporated. Then, slowly add 1 package of chocolate chunks to the mixture and mix to combine.

  • Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for 24 hours (but no more than 36 hours).

  • Remove from the fridge and scoop onto an ungreased baking sheet while the dough is still cold.

  • Once scooped, sprinkle each cookie with Maldon sea salt.

  • Bake at 350°F for around 10 minutes. The cookies should be browned on the edges, but still appear soft in the middle.

  • Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before enjoying.

Enjoy!
