Time 42m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon kentucky Bourbon (optional)

Steps:

  • For the Cookies: Mix margarine, sugars, and egg. Stir in flour and baking soda. Mix until crumbly.
  • For the Filling: Beat eggs with cooled butter. Add flour and sugar. Beat until mixed well. Stir in pecans, chocolate, and bourbon.
  • Making the Cookies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with a non-stick cooking spray. Place a thin layer of the cookie dough in the bottom of each individual muffin cup. Press the dough so it becomes a "Pie Crust". Add in the filling so that it comes up to fill about half of each individual muffin cup. Press the filling down lightly with a spoon so it settles in the pan. Place another thin layer of cookie dough on top of the filling so it becomes a lid. Bake approximately 12 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes. Loosen edges of cookies by working a knife around the inside of each individual muffin cup. Invert muffin pan onto cookie sheet to remove cookies. While still warm, press cookies down to flatten into a traditional cookie shape. Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Soften your butter to room temperature: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar, resulting in a smoother, more evenly textured cookie.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips: The better the chocolate chips, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high cacao content.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help the cookies get a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Derby Day Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite mix-ins. Follow these tips to make the best Derby Day Chocolate Chip Cookies:
  • Use high-quality ingredients.
  • Follow the recipe carefully.
