Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
- Butter: ¾ cup (170g), softened
- Sugar: ¾ cup (150g)
- Brown Sugar: ½ cup (100g)
- Vanilla Extract: 1 ½ teaspoons
- Eggs: 2
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 ½ cups (180g)
- Baking Powder: 1 ½ teaspoons
- Salt: ¾ teaspoon
- Chocolate Chips: ¾ cup (130g)
- Pecans: ⅓ cup (40g), optional
For the Sauce:
- Sugar: ¼ cup (50g)
- Brown Sugar: ½ cup (100g)
- Salt: ¼ teaspoon
- Cocoa Powder: 2 tablespoons
- Boiling Water: 1 ¼ cups (300ml)
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for your cobbler.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial for creating the perfect texture for your cookie dough.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whip in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring each ingredient is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the dough tender.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips and Pecans: Fold in the chocolate chips and optional pecans gently. Set this dough aside as you prepare the sauce.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a 9×9″ glass pan, combine the dry sauce ingredients. Pour the boiling water over them and stir until well mixed. This creates a rich and chocolaty foundation for your cobbler.
- Layer the Cookie Dough: Evenly distribute spoonfuls of the cookie dough over the sauce layer in the pan. The dough will bake into a beautiful, golden brown crust over the gooey sauce.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake your cobbler for 35-45 minutes. You’re looking for a golden brown top and a sauce that bubbles around the edges.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Chocolate Chip Cookie Cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top for that ultimate dessert experience.
