Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup vegetable shortening
- 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup Karo® Light Corn Syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 oz bag semisweet chocolate chips (for the cookies)
- 12 oz bag semisweet chocolate chips (for the chocolate dip)
- Sprinkles for decorating
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mix Together Cookie Dough
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, cream together the butter, vegetable shortening, and both sugars until the mix is fluffy and lightened in color (approximately 2-3 minutes). Beat in the eggs, then blend in the corn syrup and vanilla extract until just combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until the flour is just absorbed.
4. Add Chocolate Chips
Stir the chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
5. Prep and Bake
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a 2-Tablespoon scoop to form dough balls, placing them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake each sheet one at a time for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are set but still soft in the center. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
6. Prepare Chocolate Dip
Melt the additional chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, using 15-second increments on HIGH, stirring after each until smooth. Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, let the excess drip off, then place on parchment paper and sprinkle with decorative sprinkles.
7. Set the Cookies
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, about 2 hours, before serving.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe yields approximately 36 cookies. Preparation time is about 20 minutes, with a cook time of 12 minutes per batch and a setting time for the chocolate of 2 hours.
