⅛teaspooncinnamon (you can use even less if you'd like)
10tablespoonsunsalted or salted butter, room temperature(140 grams)
½cupbrown sugar(100 grams)
⅓cupgranulated sugar(70 grams)
3tablespoonsLyle's Golden Syrup or corn syrup(54 grams)
¼ to ½teaspoonblackstrap molasses (or just use regular molasses)
2 ¼teaspoonsvanilla extract
2tablespoonswhole milk(28 grams)
9ozchopped dark chocolate or wafers or drops
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix together the flour, baking. salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and both sugars. Beat until creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla and the corn syrup or golden syrup along with the drop of molasses.
Add the flour mixture and stir until it's almost fully blended, then stir in the milk (don't forget it!).
Add the chocolate chunks or and shape into about 16 balls or use a cookie scoop and scoop out mounds of dough. You can chill the dough balls for several hours or bake immediately.
Arrange the dough balls/mounds about 2 ½ inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes or until they start to look just set and the edges are brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet, then slide parchment off the baking sheet and let cool completely. You can serve them warm or throw them in the freezer to set the chocolate. I prefer them set.
