WHITE DROP COOKIES (SOUR MILK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES)



White Drop Cookies (Sour Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies) image

This is a recipe that has been in my family for years and years. These cookies are cake-like, light, fluffy and moist with zing from using sour milk. If you're looking for a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, I must enunciate (due to two reviewers' comments) that these cookies ARE NOTHING LIKE A CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE. They are not expected to be crisp or chewy, and the flavor is much lighter. I think this is due to reduced fat content (using 1/2 cup shortening rather than the amount of butter in a classic chocolate chip cookie). I use mini chocolate chips, since regular chocolate chips tend to be too heavy for this cookie batter (but feel free to use your preference). Also, I use homogenized/pasteurized whole milk, but my grandmother always used real sour milk when we lived on the dairy farm. She didn't need to spoil the milk using vinegar. I think the type of milk makes all the diffference. These cookies are great, but they don't quite taste the same as when Grandma made them using more conventional/natural methods.

MILK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



MILK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Yield Makes 3 1/2-4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ½ cups ap flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks), room temperature
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups milk chocolate chips, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, melt (in the microwave or over a double boiler) 3/4 cup milk chocolate. Set aside to cool slightly. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars. Add in eggs one at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Add in the vanilla and the melted chocolate. Stirring by hand, gradually add in the flour mixture, followed by the milk chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 9-11 minutes, until set. Allow to cool on pans for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

To achieve the perfect texture for your milk chocolate chip cookies, use a combination of granulated and brown sugar. While granulated sugar provides sweetness and a crispy texture, brown sugar contributes moisture, chewiness, and a rich flavor. Don't overmix the cookie dough, as this results in tough cookies. Mix it just until the ingredients are well combined. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, making the cookies tough. For a chewy cookie, do not chill the dough. For a crispier texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling the dough allows the flavors to develop and prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. Use high-quality chocolate chips that contain at least 60% cacao. This ensures that the chocolate chips melt properly and provide a rich chocolate flavor. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan. This also makes it easier to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. The cookies should not be completely brown, as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet as they cool.

Conclusion:

Milk chocolate chip cookies are a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are relatively easy to make, and with the right ingredients and techniques, you can create delicious and memorable cookies that will satisfy your sweet cravings. Whether you prefer chewy or crispy cookies, the tips and recipes provided in this article will help you achieve the perfect batch every time. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's start baking!
