Chocolate Chipless Cookies

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt until combined. Set aside.
- Mix the wet ingredients. Using a separate mixing bowl, either with a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugars on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy and a pale yellow color, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract and mix on medium-speed until combined, about 1 minute.
- Combine. Add in the dry ingredient mixture and beat on medium-low speed until just combined.
- Chill the dough. Transfer the dough to an airtight container and refrigerate it for 2 hours, or until it is chilled through. (Or, for a speedier solution, you can go ahead and shape the dough into 1-inch balls, place them on a baking sheet that is covered with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Then chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.)
- Prep the oven and baking sheet. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Form the dough balls. Scoop and roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly crispy and the tops of the cookies are very lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, which is okay. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire cooking rack for 5 minutes.
- Serve. Serve the cookies while they’re warm and gooey and enjoy!




LOVE! And that flaked sea salt – perfection!
Looking forward to making these. My husband has actually asked for CCC’s with no chips, so there you go.
I also think it’s brilliant that you included measurements for a half batch. Yay!
YES!! I’ve always loved chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips. I thought I was the only one. Can’t wait to try this recipe!???
I just made the half batch. These are some fine little ?s.
I live chocolate chip cookies, but have always wanted to experiment and leave out the chips. I’m glad there are others out there who share my love of just the dough! Pinning!
My husband always says I should leave out the chips so when I saw this I knew I had to make them! They are DELICIOUS! Husband & I both love them. Thanks for the recipe!
I don’t make cookies as often as I used to cause I eat most of them. ☺️ When I did make chocolate chip cookies I would make one or two without the chips for myself. Funny to see a recipe like this and realize someone else likes the CCC. I will definitely try the small batch! Thanks!
My favorite cookie is the chipless chocolate chip cookie. Love that buttery brown sugar flavor. They are the best.
Always pick out the chips until one day I realized I could bake them without chips.
I still do this and the best part is that I do not have to worry about anyone in my family stealing my chippless cookies.
what a pretty looking dessert…chocolate chip is my fav too..
