The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies - Oilers Edition

New York Times rated this recipe the best – like truly the best. One thing, however – you must cook them properly! In this edition, since the NHL decided to come back to life and wake up our city, I though, what better way  to show some spirit than with some good eats.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons of cake flour
  • 1 2/3 cups of all purpose flour or bread flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons of baking soda powder and coarse salt
  • 2 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of natural vanilla
  • 1 1/4 lb. of chocolate chips
  • one extra bag of chocolate chips for dunking
  • sprinkles - colours of your favourite team or any combo you love

Instructions

  • First, sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt together and set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugars together - about 5 minutes.
  • Then, add the eggs in one at a time and add the natural vanilla. Mix well.
  • On the low speed on your mixer, add the dry ingredients slowly and then stir in the chocolate chips by hand, as to not break them.
  • Next, wrap the dough up in plastic wrap and refrigerate - minimum of 48 hours and max of 72 hours.
  • When it's time to bake them, set the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll the cookie dough into small golf ball size cookies.
  • Place on a baking sheet that is either non-stick or has parchment paper on it.
  • Bake for 16 minutes.
  • Be sure to let the cookies cool for about 15 minutes each before you start dunking them - otherwise they will fall apart!
  • Melt the extra bag of chocolate chips according to the package. I melted mine in the microwave - 2 minutes and then stir to melt the rest.
  • Dunk the cookie in the melted chocolate and then into the sprinkles - place on parchment paper to cool.
