100 Layer Chocolate Chip Cookies


What exactly is a 100-layer cookie? It is basically a Double Chocolate Chip cookie. But the magic happens when you roll the cookie dough layers flat and then stack them on top of itself and rolling it out again. And again. And again. You don’t technically need to repeat that 100 times, although you could if you happen to have little helpers in the kitchen who each want a turn!






Prep Time 45 minutes

Cook Time 14 minutes

Total Time 59 minutes


Ingredients

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup (2 sticks, 226g) butter softened

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 cups (330g) all-purpose flour sifted

1/2 cup (55g) cocoa powder

3/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

2 cups chocolate morsels Can use a much as 3 cups


Instructions

Mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, egg, egg yolk and vanilla in a large bowl until well mixed. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and baking soda until blended (dough will be soft and creamy).


Divide dough into three equal portions. Wrap each portion with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator; let chill for 30 minutes.


Unwrap the chilled dough and place on a lightly floured work surface. (I dusted my surface with cocoa powder) Roll out to about 1/2-1 inch thick.



Sprinkle with half the chocolate morsels on top of the first portion of chilled dough. Roll out the second dough ball and then set on top.



Sprinkle with remaining chocolate and top and then set the final portion of dough on top of that.


Gently flatten with rolling pin and try to create a square with the cookie dough. You can fold the dough over itself and roll the cookies again if desired. These cookies do not rise very much so the make sure your dough is the desired thickness of the final cookie before moving on to the next step.



Cut dough into 2-inch squares with a sharp knife and set on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper about an inch apart. (Cookies do not spread a great deal)



Re-roll any leftover batter. You can stack it on itself to keep creating layers of chocolate chip cookie dough.

Bake at 350°F for 11-14 minutes. (The center should not appear wet)



Cool a couple minutes on baking sheets and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
