Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • red and blue food coloring
  • golden star sprinkles, if desired

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and both sugars together for 2 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, vanilla, salt, and baking soda and continue mixing for 1 minute until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips evenly.
  • Divide the cookie dough into 3 equal portions. Using the food coloring, color one portion of the dough red, and the other blue, leaving one uncolored.
  • Roll each dough into approximately a 15-inch rope. Place the three next to each other on a large piece of cling wrap. Wrap the cling wrap up tightly, pressing the doughs together forming a large log. Remove the cling wrap and breaking off the dough with your hands into approximately 2-tablespoon portions. Roll the dough into a loose ball and place it onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes or until the edges are set. Don’t over bake these!!
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • If desired sprinkle with star sprinkles, pressing them gently into the warm cookie.
