THE RECIPE
*Recipe makes 5 dozen cookies
2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour (gluten free flour, optional)
1 tsp of kosher sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup of white sugar
3/4 cup of light brown sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 lb (2 sticks) of RAW FARM Cultured Raw Butter, softened
2 large Pasture Raised Eggs
2 cups (12-ounce package) of milk chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease 2 large 18” x 26” baking sheets with raw butter.
In a medium glass bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking soda until combined. Set aside for later.
In a large glass bowl or stand mixer, cream together sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and softened raw butter until combined. The texture should be slightly grainy.
Add in the pastured eggs, mixing one at a time.
Slowly transfer the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Pour 1/3 of the dry mixture into the glass bowl or stand mixer and beat until combined. Then, add another 1/3, mixing until combined. Finally, add the final 1/3 of the dry ingredients and beat until the dough is smooth, thick, and there is no more flour along the edges or clumps present in the dough.
Mix in the chocolate chips, one bag at a time.
Use an ice cream scooper or a dining spoon, form your cookie dough into tablespoon size balls, and place it on the baking sheet. Store any leftover dough in the refrigerator to bake later, or form the cookie dough into balls and freeze.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes for gooey chocolate chip cookies or 11-12 minutes for crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes. Pour yourself a fresh glass of Whole Raw Milk and enjoy! Make sure to save some for Santa. 😉
I’ve been making these cookies for awhile, and they’re always a big hit. People absolutely LOVE these cookies and can’t get enough of them. Why? Because these chocolate chip cookies are unique. I promise you they’re not like anything you’ve ever tried before. Here’s a few secrets that make these cookies unlike any chocolate chip cookie you’ve had before.
Secret #1: use double MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS
Initially, most chocolate chip cookie recipes are made using one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, while this cookie recipe is made using two bags of milk chocolate chips, making the cookies extra decadent, sweet, and indulgent. The sweetness of the milk chocolate pairs perfectly with my next secret below:
secret #2: use LIGHTLY SALTED ***raw*** BUTTER
Secondly, you could use lightly salted butter instead of unsalted butter for this recipe because our mission is to create a perfect mix of sweetness and saltiness that will leave your taste buds bursting with happiness. The salted butter and the extra-sweetness of the milk chocolate chips blend amazingly together, creating a perfect union. RAW FARM Lightly Salted Raw Butter is rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, "X Factor ", vitamins, and minerals. Made from cold-churned raw cream with kosher sea salt added. RAW FARM Lightly Salted Raw Butter's bright yellow color comes naturally from year around grass-grazing. Its color will vary with the season; springtime brings the brightest color. The ease of digestibility of Lightly Salted Raw Butter gives those that experience discomfort with processed dairy products, a delicious and natural option. Absolutely NO antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or GMO anything.
Secret #3: USE PASTURE RAISED EGGS
Pasture Raised Eggs have nutritional benefits that accompany the outdoor access that pasture-raised standards offer. Simply put, pasture-raised eggs are healthier for you than free-range, cage-free, or conventional eggs. Research has shown that hens with access to outdoor pastures produce eggs with significantly more omega-3 fatty acids than eggs from caged hens and contain significantly more vitamin D than conventional (or caged) eggs.
What to do with leftover cookie dough?
Well, we assume it is very unlikely to have leftover cookie dough… However, maybe there’s just a few people home and you don’t want to make all of the cookies at once. You can store the dough in the fridge for 3-5 days. If you want to save the dough all together and bake more another time, form the cookie dough balls and place them in an airtight bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Bake them for 2-3 minutes longer than usual to thaw completely and crisp.
