Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 1/4 cups white sugar, separated
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp hot water
  • 1/2 tsp himalayan salt
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Mix together 1 ¼ cups sugar and the molasses in your stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium high for about 4-5 minutes, or until well combined. (You will have small nuggets of mixture left.)
  • Add the remaining sugar and butter, and cream together for 2 minutes or until fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Then add the vanilla.
  • Dissolve baking soda into hot water and then add to the batter. Also add the salt.
  • Mix in the flour, then chocolate chips.
  • Chill dough for the BEST cookie dough. (We leave it in the fridge overnight or longer but you can chill for 4 hours if you just can’t wait.)
  • Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased pans lined with parchment paper. Give plenty of space.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes (until the edges become golden brown).
  • Cool, then enjoy.
