In this video, Jeff Mauro shares his recipe for Gooey Cafeteria Chocolate Chip Cookies, a nostalgic treat that brings back memories of high school days. These cookies are filled with mini chocolate chips, brown butter, and topped with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.
To start, you’ll need to brown the butter in a saucepan until it turns deep golden brown with a nutty aroma. This step adds a rich and toasty flavor to the cookies. Once the butter is browned, mix it with both brown and granulated sugars, vanilla extract, and an egg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda and flour before folding it into the butter mixture. Add in the mini chocolate chips and mix until everything is well combined. Using a cookie scoop, place the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten them slightly with a measuring cup or the bottom of a glass.
Bake the cookies at 325 degrees F until the edges are golden brown and the center is still gooey, about 10 to 11 minutes. Once they come out of the oven, sprinkle them with flaky sea salt for an added touch of flavor. These cookies are perfect for sharing with family and friends or simply enjoying as a sweet treat for yourself.
With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can recreate these delicious Gooey Cafeteria Chocolate Chip Cookies at home. Whether you’re craving a classic cookie or looking to satisfy a sweet tooth, this recipe is sure to be a hit. So grab your apron and get ready to bake up a batch of these irresistible cookies!
