Recipe of the Week - Marble Cookies! (3 of 52)

Scott is out of town this week at a training class for work. We totally miss him. To fill the void (not really, but it sounded good...) I tried a new cookie recipe! I really want to keep up with my goal of trying a new recipe each week, but with Scotty gone, I didn't want to make a whole dinner. Both Kyle and I think these are winners. We'll have to set some aside for Scott.

Marble Cookies
(Mrs. Fields Best Cookie Book Ever)2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 stick salted butter, softened
1 large egg
4 oz. sour cream (1/2 cup)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips (about 1 cup)

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. In bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt with wire whisk. Set aside.
3. Combine sugars in a large bowl using an electric mixer set at medium speed. Add butter and beat until batter is grainy. Add egg, sour cream, and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape bowl. Add the flour mixture and blend at low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Place chocolate chips in a microwave-proof bowl and microwave on high, stirring every 20 seconds until melted.
5. Cool chocolate for a few minutes and pour over cookie batter. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, lightly fold melted chocolate into the dough. Do not mix chocolate completely into the cookie dough.
6. Drop by rounded tablespoons, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 20 to 22 minutes. Do not brown. Quickly transfer cookies to a cool surface.



Okay, so these are good. Like yum, hard to stop eating them good. A forewarning though, the batter doesn't taste all that great. (Yep! I had to try it, I'm a cookie batter lover.) These cookies taste MUCHO bettero once they've been baked.
