Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 + ¼ cup (157 gm) whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- ½ tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup (113 gm) softened butter
- ½ cup (100 gm) light brown sugar
- ½ cup (115 gm) caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (61 gm) milk
Add-ins
- ¼ cup (40 gm) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, caster sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to cream the mixture until it becomes fluffy and well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the whole wheat flour, cornflour, and baking soda into the same bowl. Mix everything together until the dough takes on a sandy texture.
- Incorporate Milk and Chill Dough: Add milk to the dough and mix well until the ingredients come together into a pliable dough. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm it up.
- Prepare Cooking Setup: Place a high-rimmed pan on the induction cooktop. Put a trivet or a wire rack inside the pan, then place a steel plate on top. Cover the pan and preheat on medium heat for about 10 minutes to create a steaming environment.
- Shape and Cook Cookies: Take spoonfuls of the chilled dough, roll them into balls, and flatten each ball. Arrange the flattened dough pieces on the steel plate inside the pan. Cover and cook for 20 minutes on medium heat.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Finish Cooking: Once cookies have risen and cooked almost fully, top each cookie with chocolate chips. Cover again and cook for an additional 2 minutes for the chocolate chips to melt slightly.
- Cool and Serve: Turn off the heat. Let cookies cool in the pan before serving to firm up and enjoy fresh, warm no-oven cookies.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to cream properly with the sugars.
- Using a steel plate on a trivet simulates an oven environment for gentle steaming/baking on the stovetop.
- Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the cookies on the bottom.
- Refrigerating the dough firms it up and makes shaping easier.
- These cookies will have a softer texture compared to oven-baked versions due to the steaming method.
- For best results, use whole wheat flour for the rustic texture and nutritional boost.
