I made cookies like this with ghee. My husband loved them and now request them, as he calls it "cookie crack"
My chocolate chip cookies also turn out like the second photo and my husband has forbidden me from changing my recipe 😂 he doesn't have much of a sweet tooth but he loves these buttery misshapen blob cookies.
Wow, this makes me curious about how it would taste. Sounds like an accident worth trying.
This is my recipe, if you're curious: 1c butter (227g) at room temperature 1/3c white sugar (67g) 1 1/2c brown sugar, packed (320g) 2 eggs 1tsp vanilla 2tbsp milk (30g) 2c flour (240g) 1tsp salt 1tsp baking soda Chocolate chips (measure with your heart, I do a full 225g bag)
Cream the butter and sugars together, add the eggs one at a time and mix until just incorporated, then add the vanilla and milk and mix until incorporated. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until you get a cohesive batter, then fold in the chocolate chips. Bake at 325 for about 12-15 minutes until the outsides are crinkly and golden and the middle is just set and starting to brown. They will spread a TON and be a bit greasy fresh out of the oven but they're good, if hideous lol. They have kind of a toffee taste to them because of all the butter and brown sugar.
