Chocolate Farmyard Cookies Recipes

COOKIES IN A BOWL (WITH ICE CREAM)

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder until combined. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and brown sugar until just combined, scraping down the bottom and sides as needed. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat to incorporate. Add the flour mixture and mix slowly until just barely combined. Mix in the chocolate chips. Scoop out a slightly-heaping, 1/2-cup scoop of dough and place on a prepared baking sheet. Lightly press the dough to flatten into the shape of a hockey puck. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing 6 cookies on each baking sheet and making sure to evenly space apart. Sprinkle the tops with flakey salt. At this point, you can bake or freeze.
• Bake the cookies until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes. (If baking from frozen, begin checking at 20 minutes.)
• While still warm, put a cookie in a bowl. Top with a scoop of ice cream, hot fudge, sprinkles and a cherry.
