Chocolate Chip Crisscross Cookies Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Chip Crisscross Cookies Delight.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Step 2

   In a spacious mixing bowl, blend room temperature butter with white sugar, dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, and kosher salt.

3. Step 3

   Use a mixer to whip these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about two minutes.

4. Step 4

   Next, introduce the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

5. Step 5

   Gradually fold in 2 cups of all-purpose flour on low speed until just combined; the dough will be soft and inviting.

6. Step 6

   Now, divide the dough in half, placing one portion in a separate bowl.

7. Step 7

   To this half, mix in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.

8. Step 8

   For the other half, blend in Dutch-process cocoa powder and gently fold in the white chocolate chips until well combined.

9. Step 9

   Take a tablespoon of each dough and roll them into balls.

10. Step 10

    Lightly tap the balls on the counter to create a flat base, then press the flat sides of the two balls together to form a larger ball.

11. Step 11

    Flatten this combined ball into a disk that showcases both dark and light colors.

12. Step 12

    Cut the disk in half with a knife, making a perpendicular cut to the seam.

13. Step 13

    Flip one half over and press the two halves back together firmly, resulting in a disk with four alternating quarters of dough.

14. Step 14

    Repeat this delightful process with the remaining dough.

15. Step 15

    Arrange the formed cookies on your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.

16. Step 16

    For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

17. Step 17

    Bake in your preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn a lovely golden brown.

18. Step 18

    Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

19. Step 19

    Enjoy the delightful contrast of flavors in every bite!.
