Ingredients:

For the Cookie Dough:

• 1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• ½ cup (100 grams) packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 egg, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1¼ cups (159 grams) all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (170 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

For Frying:

• 1¼ cups (159 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (255 grams) milk
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 quart oil, for frying
• Melted chocolate, for drizzling
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions:

1. Make the Cookie Dough:
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the room-temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.

• Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
• Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips.

2. Shape and Chill the Dough:
Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate the dough balls for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days if stored in an airtight container. Chilling the dough helps it hold its shape while frying.

3. Prepare the Frying Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

• Add the milk and vegetable oil, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. This will be the coating that gives the cookie dough its crispy exterior when fried.

4. Fry the Cookie Dough:
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a medium heavy pot over medium heat until it reaches 360°F (180°C). Use a candy or frying thermometer to monitor the temperature, making sure it stays consistent.

• Working in batches, dip each chilled cookie dough ball into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before gently lowering the dough balls into the hot oil.

5. Cook Until Golden:
Fry the dough balls for 1½ to 2 minutes per side, or until they’re puffed and golden brown. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon or skimmer, and drain them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.

• Repeat this process with the remaining cookie dough balls and batter, making sure to keep the oil temperature between 360°F and 370°F for the best results.

6. Serve Warm:
To serve, drizzle the fried cookie dough balls with melted chocolate and dust them with powdered sugar. These are best enjoyed warm, right after frying. If needed, you can keep them warm in a 175°F oven until ready to serve.
