Ultra thick chocolate chip cookies for Sabres gameday, game 5, first round

For game five against the Bruins tomorrow, I asked Rob what to make and he suggested chocolate chip cookies.  So these use a combo of browned butter and regular room temp butter, and a tsp of active yeast.  

We are one win away from our first playoff series win in 19 years!  Very exciting!

  • Ingredients list
  • 1/2 cup butter, browned
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 2 tbs water
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions – after you have browned 1/2 cup butter, pour into bowl and set aside.  In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and yeast.  Using a pasty cutter or fork, cut in 1/4 cup butter.   Set aside.  To brown butter bowl, add sugar and brown sugar, then egg, water, and vanilla.   Combine with flour bowl.   Mix in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups dough and chill a few hours.  Preheat oven to 375.   Line a cookie sheet with nonstick liners or parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely and store in covered container.
