Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup vegetable shortening
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
Wet and Binding Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup Karo® Light Corn Syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 24 ounces (2 x 12 oz bags) semisweet chocolate chips
- Sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Arrange the oven rack in the center and warm the oven to 350 degrees F, preparing for a delectable baking experience.
- In a mixer, whip butter, vegetable shortening, and sugars until they transform into a light, airy mixture with a cloud-like texture, approximately 2-3 minutes of vigorous blending.
- Incorporate eggs into the creamy base, then gently fold in corn syrup and vanilla extract, ensuring a uniform and smooth consistency.
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, creating a delicate dry ingredient blend.
- Gradually introduce the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully until the flour disappears into the dough without overmixing.
- Fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly for consistent sweetness in every bite.
- Cover baking sheets with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for cookie placement.
- Scoop dough into uniform balls using a two-tablespoon measure, positioning them with ample spacing to allow proper spreading.
- Bake each sheet individually for 10-12 minutes, watching for edges to set while maintaining a soft, tender center.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, developing their signature texture and flavor.
- Melt additional chocolate chips in short microwave intervals, stirring between each to achieve a smooth, glossy finish.
- Dip each cooled cookie halfway into melted chocolate, letting excess drip back into the bowl.
- Place chocolate-dipped cookies on fresh parchment, decorating with sprinkles while the chocolate remains wet.
- Let cookies rest at room temperature until chocolate sets completely, approximately two hours, before serving.
Notes
- Perfectly measure ingredients for consistent cookie texture and flavor every single time.
- Cream butter and sugars thoroughly to create a light, airy base that guarantees soft, melt-in-your-mouth cookies.
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure smooth incorporation and prevent lumpy dough consistency.
- Space cookie dough balls evenly to allow proper spreading and prevent overcrowded, misshapen cookies.
- Cool cookies completely on baking sheet to maintain structural integrity and prevent breaking.
- Melt chocolate slowly and carefully to achieve smooth, glossy dipping consistency without burning.
