Chocolate chip cookies with apple cider vinegar?

I know what you are thinking…chocolate chip cookies with apple cider vinegar? That sounds gross. I thought the same thing but decided to try the recipe.

I found it on Dear Crissy blog and I have to say it is magical!

Apparently it is used to activate the baking soda helping it to rise a little bit. Whatever it does these chocolate chip cookies were amazing!

Ingredients for Chocolate chip cookies with apple cider vinegar

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt (I added a little bit more)

1 Cup butter almost all melted (but not hot)

3/4 cup light brown sugar packed

2/3 cup sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 large egg

2 cups chocolate chips (I used half 60% bitter sweet Ghirardelli and half semi sweet Ghiradelli)

Sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

In a medium sized bowl mix all the dry ingredients together except for sea salt. Flour, baking soda and salt.

Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up. Heat oven to 350 degrees

I used my kitchen aid mixer with whip attachment to mix up the wet ingredients and sugars. Butter, sugar, vanilla and apple cider vinegar. Then add the eggs. Mix well.

Next add the wet and dry ingredients together. Mix until just combined. Add in chocolate chips and stir.

Using a cookie scoop (The recipe calls for a large scoop i used a medium sized scoop)

Place 12 cookie scoops onto cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are light brown. They will look under baked.

Take out of the oven, sprinkle a little sea salt (I used kosher salt) and let rest on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing.

They really are some of the best chocolate chip cookies I have made! Check out lots of her other recipes too!
