#PretendCookingShow: Cloud Cookies 🍪

In the season of sugar cookies and candy canes, sometimes you just want a chocolate chip cookie. A very special one. A cloud-like wonder of a chocolate chip cookie. ☁️♥️☁️ Whether you’re gathered around the fire with family, or in the kitchen with a developing spray tan 😉🫠 just don’t forget the superfine sugar! 🙈😂 #KitchenAidAmbassador

Cloud Cookies by Sarabeth’s NYC

Ingredients:
– 1 ⅓ cup superfine sugar
– 1 ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp, cut into ½ in cubes
– 2 large eggs, at room temp, beaten
– 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
– ¾ tsp baking soda
– ¼ tsp fine sea salt
– 2 cups toasted sliced almonds
– 2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Position racks in center and top third of oven and preheat to 350℉. Line three half-sheet pans with parchment paper.
2. Rub sugar and brown sugar together through a coarse wire-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; set aside. (You can use your @kitchenaid Sifter + Scale attachment here on white sugar!)
3. Beat butter in the bowl of your KitchenAid® 7 Qt Bowl Lift Stand Mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed until smooth, ~1 min. Gradually add sugar mixture, then vanilla. Beat, occasionally scraping the bottom/sides of the bowl, until mixture is pale yellow and light textured, ~5 mins. Gradually beat in eggs.
4. Sift flour, baking soda & salt together into a medium bowl. With mixer on low, add dry ingredients mixing just until each addition is incorporated. Add almonds and chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
5. Using a 2 inch diameter ice cream scoop, portion the batter onto the prepared pans and slightly flatten each ball of dough. Bake two of the pans of cookies, switching position of the pans from top to bottom and front to back about halfway through baking, until cookies are evenly golden brown, ~15-18 mins. During the last 3 mins, rap each pan on the rack. The cookies will deflate and their signature cracks will appear on the tops. Repeat with third pan. Cool on pans.
6. Yum!
