Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Brown the Butter - Start by browning your butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir it frequently until it turns golden brown and you can smell a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients - In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Add the Goodies - Gently fold in the halved TURTLES Minis and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Step 5: Chill the Dough - Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavor.
  6. Step 6: Preheat the Oven - While your dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Step 7: Scoop and Bake - Once chilled, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie for a beautiful finish.
  8. Step 8: Bake - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after removing them from the oven.
  9. Step 9: Cool and Enjoy - Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these TURTLES Candies Chocolate Chip Cookies warm with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is crucial for the best texture.
  • Don’t overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool.
  • Measure flour accurately to avoid dry cookies.
