Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Wisconsin ginseng powder
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, Wisconsin ginseng powder, and cocoa powder.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts:
Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
Shape the Dough:
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should be chewy.
Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy:
Serve with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage and enjoy the unique combination of chocolate and Wisconsin ginseng!
These cookies are perfect for a unique treat that combines the familiar comfort of chocolate cookies with the health benefits and distinctive flavor of Wisconsin ginseng.
