Ingredients
-
1 cup beef tallow (from our premium tallow collection), softened
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp sea salt
-
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
-
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Cream Tallow and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened beef tallow with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until well combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
-
Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the tallow mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) with a spatula.
-
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each dough ball.
-
Bake: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Serve: Enjoy warm with a glass of milk or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
