Last week was huge as I shared my very own recipe for Brown Butter Chocolate Chip cookies and they were a success!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls
½ c ( 1 stick ) unsalted butter, softened
½ c brown sugar
⅓ c granulated sugar
1 c + 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ c applesauce
1 c chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients ( flour, soda, salt, coffee granules ). Set aside.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together butter and sugars. Whip until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add applesauce and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Stir in the dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips.
If the dough is very soft, refrigerate until it hardens.
Scoop the dough onto prepared sheet.
Freeze 3 hours or overnight.
Dip in melted chocolate.
Keep in the freezer until ready to serve.

I have made these several times for parties I have had and the dough balls have come out great. I noticed that you used applesauce. There is another option that Joy recommends which is Greek yogurt. I used greek yogurt which I would think would give the dough more structure. The dough is a bit sticky when left out of the freezer. But it is sooooooo yummy. Try the yogurt and see if that makes the difference.....

Oh my. These sound so wonderful. I'm betting that they taste great despite the fact that they were uncooperative. Good for you that you posted them anyway and aren't driven by that perfection thing!
