Ingredients
Scale
- 1 quart (946 ml) oil, for frying
- 1 stick (113 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (255 g) milk
- 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1¼ cups (159 g) all-purpose flour (for cookie dough)
- 1¼ cups (159 g) all-purpose flour (for batter)
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Melted chocolate, for drizzling
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: Cream butter and sugars using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, then blend in egg and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
- Dry Ingredients Integration: Gently fold flour, salt, and chocolate chips into the mixture, minimizing mixing to preserve delicate texture.
- Chilling Process: Mold dough into uniform one-inch spheres and refrigerate on a parchment-lined sheet for at least one hour to intensify flavors and firm consistency.
- Batter Creation: Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, then gradually incorporate milk and vegetable oil to form a silky, smooth coating with no lumps.
- Oil Preparation: Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to precisely 360°F, maintaining consistent temperature for optimal frying conditions.
- Coating and Frying: Thoroughly enrobe chilled dough balls in prepared batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully lower into hot oil, frying four to five pieces simultaneously.
- Cooking Technique: Rotate pieces during frying to achieve an evenly golden, crisp exterior, approximately 1½ to 2 minutes per side.
- Finishing Touches: Drain fried cookie dough on paper towels to remove excess oil, then garnish with chocolate drizzle and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
- Serving Recommendation: Serve immediately for peak texture and temperature, or keep warm in a low-temperature oven until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Chill Dough Thoroughly: Refrigerate cookie dough balls for at least one hour to prevent them from falling apart during frying and enhance flavor concentration.
- Monitor Oil Temperature: Maintain steady 360°F oil temperature to ensure crispy exterior and prevent soggy or burnt results; use a digital thermometer for precision.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Fry only 4-5 pieces simultaneously to prevent oil temperature drops and guarantee even, golden-brown coating.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy deep-fried cookie dough right after preparation to experience the perfect contrast between crispy exterior and gooey, warm interior.
