Description

Famous Amos Cookies are classic, crunchy yet slightly chewy chocolate chip cookies made with buttery dough and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Perfect for snacking or dessert, these homemade treats bring nostalgic flavors with a simple baking process.

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, adding moisture and flavor to the dough.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute leavening and seasoning.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough so they are evenly distributed throughout.
  7. Shape Cookies: Roll small portions of dough, about one tablespoon each, into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown while centers remain slightly soft, ensuring a chewy texture.
  9. Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them set and prevents breakage.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to maintain tender cookies.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution and classic texture.
  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and let cool on the baking sheet.
  • Butter should be softened but not melted to achieve proper creaminess during mixing.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
