Instagram Decides Cookies

A few days ago, I posted a poll on my Instagram, @baking_biking_more, to see what people liked in their cookies.

I asked:

• Sugar or cocoa base? - SUGAR

• Milk or dark chocolate? - MILK

• Nuts or no nuts - which kind of nuts? - NUTS, PEANUTS

• Anything else? - SEA SALT

I used a wheel decider to choose what kind of nuts, and what else would go into these cookies!

Here is the recipe:

Instagram Decides Cookies

Total time: 9hrs / Bake time: 12-14min / yields 30 servings

Ingredients

- 1 c. bread flour

- ¾ c. AP flour

- 1 tsp baking soda

- 1 c. (2 sticks) salted butter

- 2 TBSP water at room temperature

- 1 c. dark brown sugar packed down

- ½ c. granulated sugar

- 2 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 large egg

- 1 large egg yolk

- 1/2 c. milk chocolate chips

- 1/4 c. roasted peanuts, chopped

- sprinkle of sea salt

Directions

1. Browning the Butter: a) cut the butter into TBSP pieces (no need to soften)

b) place in a sauce pan and turn to medium heat

c) let it melt. It will start to bubble, so stir constantly.

d) turn heat to medium-low. Let it brown. It should smell nutty.

e) the time for browning is different for everyone, but when done, pour into a measuring cup. We will need a cup. Add the room temp water to get to a cup. If the butter is at 1 cup, skip adding water. Let completely cool. The butter will smell nutty.

2. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until you can’t feel any grains of sugar.

3. While creaming, sift bread flour, AP flour, and baking soda.

4. To the butter and sugar mix, add egg, yolk, and vanilla.

5. Slowly fold in dry ingredients to wet. When there is a little flour let on the sides, stop and add the chocolate chips and peanuts. This will combine all the flour.

6. Scoop 2 TBSP balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the top with sea salt.

7. Place in fridge for 8+ hours.

8. Bake at 320°F convection bake 12-14 minutes depending on your preference of softness. When first out of the oven, your cookies will be very soft. They will firm up!

9. Cool on pan 3 minutes, then cool on a cooling rack until completely cool. Enjoy!

I hope y'all enjoyed this post!
