Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup Milk Duds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, ensuring the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda to ensure even distribution of the baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the Milk Duds, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- As the cookies cool, the Milk Duds will create surprise pockets of caramel throughout the cookie.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best texture. This helps create a light and fluffy dough.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can enhance the flavors and help the cookies maintain their shape.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they bake. They should be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center when you take them out.
- Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to add other ingredients like chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra flavor twist!
- Storage: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay delicious for up to 5 days!
