Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (125 g) heat-treated all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (128 g) chocolate chips
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp salt
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Creaming: Whip butter with granulated and brown sugars until fluffy and pale, creating a light, aerated base for the cookie dough.
- Mixing Base: Blend vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, then fold in flour and salt until a uniform consistency develops.
- Dough Preparation: Introduce milk to bind the ingredients, then gently fold chocolate chips throughout the dough for even distribution.
- Shaping: Form small, uniform dough spheres by rolling between palms, then freeze for 20 minutes to maintain structural integrity during frying.
- Coating Mixture: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, creating a dry coating base.
- Batter Creation: Combine milk and egg until smooth, then merge with the dry ingredients to form a silky, lump-free batter.
- Frying Setup: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F, preparing for optimal frying conditions.
- Battering and Frying: Dip frozen dough balls completely in batter, then carefully lower into hot oil, frying 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden, crispy exterior.
- Finishing: Remove fried bites with a slotted spoon, draining excess oil on paper towels before serving.
Notes
- Chill for Success: Freezing cookie dough balls for 20 minutes prevents them from falling apart during frying and helps maintain their shape.
- Temperature Matters: Keep oil consistently at 350°F to achieve a crispy golden exterior without burning or undercooking the cookie bites.
- Batter Technique: Ensure complete and even batter coating by gently rolling each frozen dough ball, which creates a uniform and crunchy exterior.
- Drain Excess Oil: Place fried bites on paper towels immediately after cooking to absorb extra oil and maintain a light, crisp texture.
