Let’s dive into this fun and easy recipe that will have everyone asking for your secret ingredient!

Ingredients

To get started, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, small diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven:

First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F. This ensures that your cookies will bake evenly, giving them that perfect golden-brown edge and soft center.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar. This step is crucial for creating a smooth, creamy base for your cookies. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until it becomes light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the dough, which is essential for achieving that perfect texture.

3. Add Vanilla and Hard-Boiled Eggs:

Next, add the vanilla extract and diced hard-boiled eggs to the butter and sugar mixture. You might be wondering why we’re adding hard-boiled eggs instead of traditional raw eggs. The diced hard-boiled eggs add a unique texture and subtle richness to the cookies, and they help bind everything together without adding extra moisture. Mix until the eggs are fully incorporated. Don’t worry if you see small pieces of egg in the dough—that’s exactly what we want!

4. Mix Dry Ingredients Separately:

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good stir to ensure that all the ingredients are well mixed. This step is important because it helps distribute the baking soda and salt evenly throughout the dough, which means consistent flavor and texture in every bite.

5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing a little at a time. Continue to mix until the flour is fully incorporated into the dough. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies. We’re aiming for a dough that is well combined but still tender.

6. Add the Chocolate Chips:

Now for the fun part! Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Feel free to add a few extra if you’re a chocolate lover like we are!

7. Scoop and Bake:

Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop the dough into balls of your desired size and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Be sure to space them out evenly to allow room for spreading as they bake.

Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are a beautiful golden brown. The centers should still look slightly soft; they will continue to set as they cool.

8. Cool and Enjoy!

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. And there you have it—delicious, soft, and chewy Hard-Boiled Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies!
