Have you ever tried Crystal Cruise Lines Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe?
This brings me to my next question… What are your thoughts about the selection of desserts on a cruise ship? I do remember the days of a midnight chocolate buffet but at the end of the day you can’t beat a freshly made cookie. I don’t really even eat cookies and I find myself keeping a stash in my cabin for after dinner! Crystal Cruises was nice enough to share their Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe with us 🍪

Equipment
- Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
- 2 Bowls
- Cookie Sheet
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup Unsalted Butter (2 sticks plus 6 tablespoons)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 packet Bittersweet Chocolate (10 ounces)
- Garnish: 1 package Mini Cadbury Eggs
Instructions
- Working with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter and both sugars together on medium speed until soft and creamy. Add eggs one at a time until incorporated. Add in the salt and vanilla.
- While butter and sugar are creaming, in a separate bowl, whisk baking soda into flour.
- Turn off the mixer, add all the dry ingredients and pulse a few times to start the blending. Then, turn the mixer to low and beat until the dough comes together. Toss in the chocolate chips and slowly mix to incorporate.
- Using a cookie scoop as a guide, portion out balls of dough on to a tray. Freeze the tray of dough for at least one to two hours. I usually make these the night before.
- Place a rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350 F with an empty cookie sheet pan in oven. The hot tray helps with the browning and stops cookie from spreading.
- Once oven comes up to temperature, carefully remove hot baking tray and place a piece of parchment or a silicone mat on it. Remove the tray of cookies in your freezer and transfer the cookies to the hot tray, spacing them 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes rotating mid-baking
- Remove cookies. Add three Cadbury Mini Eggs to each cookie, slightly pressing them into dough.
