Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup vegetable shortening
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 24 oz (2 x 12 oz bags) semisweet chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup Karo® Light Corn Syrup
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsps pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- Sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Preparation: Position oven rack centrally and preheat to 350°F, ensuring optimal baking conditions.
- Creaming: Vigorously blend butter, shortening, and sugars in a mixer until achieving a light, fluffy consistency, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Wet Ingredients: Mix eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla extract into the creamy base, creating a smooth, uniform liquid foundation.
- Dry Mixture: Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together, forming a delicate, well-integrated dry ingredient blend.
- Dough Formation: Gently incorporate dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring until flour is completely integrated without overmixing.
- Chocolate Integration: Thoroughly fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor.
- Baking Setup: Line baking sheets with parchment paper and portion dough into uniform balls, spacing them to allow proper expansion.
- Baking Process: Bake individual sheets for 10-12 minutes, monitoring until edges set while maintaining a soft, tender center.
- Cooling and Decorating: Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet, then melt additional chocolate chips in short microwave intervals.
- Finishing Touch: Dip each cooled cookie halfway into melted chocolate, garnish with sprinkles, and let set at room temperature for approximately two hours before serving.
Notes
- Butter Temperature Control: Ensure butter is softened but not melted for perfect cookie texture and consistent creaming.
- Mixing Mastery: Avoid overmixing dough after adding flour to prevent tough, dense cookies; stop mixing when flour just disappears.
- Precise Spacing Matters: Leave 2 inches between cookie dough balls to allow proper spreading and prevent cookies from merging.
- Chocolate Coating Tip: Use high-quality chocolate for dipping and work quickly to prevent chocolate from cooling and becoming lumpy.
