Steps:
- *JarMix Instructions*.
- In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, stirring to mix well.
- In 1-qt jar, place half of the flour mixture and press down firmly.
- Place cranberries in jar and then cover with chocolate chips.
- Place remaining flour mixture over chocolate chips.
- Place lid on jar.
- *PreparationInstructions*.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Empty contents of jar into large mixing bowl.
- Add vanilla, eggs and oil.
- Beat on low speed until thoroughly blended (dough may be crumbly).
- Shape into 1 1/2-inch balls and roll in sugar.
- Place 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until very lightly browned edges.
- Cool for 1 minute and transfer to cooling rack.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "natural" or "unsweetened."
- Use a dark chocolate bar with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich and decadent chocolate flavor.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to spread less and will result in a thicker, chewier cookie.
- Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature (350°F) for 12-15 minutes. Over baking will result in dry and crumbly cookies.
- Use a variety of mix-ins to create unique and flavorful cookies. Some popular mix-ins include chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, and candy.
- Make sure your chocolate and butter are at room temperature before mixing to ensure they combine smoothly without curdling.
- Don't chill the dough if using baking powder as a leavening agent. This will result in flat cookies.
- For crispy cookies, use less butter and more flour. For chewy cookies, use more butter and less flour.
- If you don't have any baking powder or baking soda on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice as a substitute.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in tough and dense cookies.
Conclusion:
With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make delicious and impressive chocolate chip cookies from scratch. These cookies are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
