RECIPE FOR MAMA KELCE’S CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES BELOW.

Who’s ready to try these overnight sensation cookies! Mama (Donna) Kelce has a delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe that you’re going to love! Mother of well known football players Travis and Jason Kelce, Mama Kelce has made these cookies for her sons and their teammates.

Before starting these cookies, make sure you have the time. There is a chill period of 24 hours! Chilling the dough allows for the flour to hydrate and the fats to solidify. So when it’s time to bake, the dough will spread out slower making for a chewier cookie. Hydrating the dough will allow the sugar to break down and the flour to absorb it. Thus making the dough taste sweeter. The result of chilling the dough did make for a sweeter cookie. The taste was rich and decadent.

The additives for this recipe are made up of chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and pecan pieces. You can definitely substitute the chocolate for different kinds like dark and semi sweet. But as long as you don’t have an allergy, the pecans are a must! They add such a nice flavour to your cookies. Sometimes chocolate chip cookies can be a little too sweet but adding pecans really makes the cookie stand out. If anything, you could lessen the chocolate chip quantity but keep the pecans the same if not more.

As the cookies will spread but not by much we should allow 3 inches between each cookie dough ball. Filling the pans with no more than 8 cookies and baking for 11-14 minutes (12-15 if frozen) will support an even bake. Always rely on your sight rather than time because all ovens are different. Sometimes the cookies will seem under-baked but as long as you are seeing a nice golden brown rim, the cookies are ready to come out. If you are not aiming for a chewy centre, you can keep the cookies in for a minute or two longer. We want our cookies to cool for 5 minutes before trying to transfer to a cooling rack. The cookie is made up of sugar and butter, which has just been baking and getting soft in the oven. Cooling it off will allow the butter and sugar to solidify again, which will make it easier to handle.

Overall, these cookies were definitely a hit and tasted amazing. I can see how the football players love them. Next time around there are a couple things I would add, like flaky salt to the top of each cookie. Because of the chilling period making the dough sweeter, the salt would really be a beautiful addition. I enjoyed this recipe and would highly recommend it to others.
