Scoopable Cookie Ingredients

So, what goes into a viral batch of Scoopable Cookies? First, we have a base of pantry staples that keeps this recipe within reach for everyone to enjoy and bake up on a whim!

Pantry staples such as all-purpose flour, baking soda, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and sea salt combine with large eggs, an additional large egg yolk, and salted butter to build the base of these cookies.

Then to elevate the scoopable cookies above just an ordinary treat, we added malted milk powder for a delicious depth of flavor, cornstarch for softness, and vanilla bean paste for a rich flavor that stands out.

To give this recipe its ooey-gooey chocolaty goodness with a balanced sweetness, we chose to use both milk chocolate chips and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips!

  10. Remove the pie dish of cookie dough from the fridge and allow it to sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.
