Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pancakes

I think chocolate chip cookies are near and dear to everyone's heart. Back in India, my favourite chocolate chip cookie was the Cadbury Milano cookies. The commercial was very well done!! We all know that the ultimate pairing is with a nice cold glass of milk to dip our cookies in! Let's celebrate our love for chocolate chip cookies by making huge cookies in the form of pancakes! Here I've got some classic chocolate chip pancakes but with a bonus...

They're quite literally pancakes that are chocolate chip cookies because I added chocolate chip cookies in the pancakes! Oh my gosh, adding the cookies into the batter is absolutely terrific! I mention in my free motivational guide to get creative in the kitchen, Make Cooking Fun!, that using what you have in your pantry can spark some very unique and tasty ideas! I’ve always wanted to make “inception” pancakes, so I had The Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies by President’s Choice, my wife’s nostalgic cookie, on hand, in addition to the chocolate chips by President’s Choice that are used for the cookies mentioned above. Mind blown! The extra chocolate chips and texture of the cookies make the pancakes that much fluffier, softer, and extremely delicious! Also let's not forget how incredible these smell while cooking!!

Gotta Dunk the Cookies in a Glass of Milk!

Since we need to pair our huge chocolate chip cookies with milk, I've decided to add an extra touch by making this dip creamy and sweet! Milk, cream cheese, and some sweetener are going to make the tastiest dip for your pancakes! Top with some extra cookies so you can enjoy snack time and breakfast time together! For an added bonus definitely use your own baked chocolate chip cookies in the batter, I'm sure that would be spectacular! Live to Cook one-month cooking challenge!

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle on medium heat. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup or a ladle, pour the batter onto the center of the hot pan. Flip the pancake when you start to see bubbles forming, which will take about 2-3 minutes. Then, cook for another minute or so. After each pancake has finished cooking, add it onto a baking tray and put it in the oven so it stays warm as the other pancakes cook. Turn the heat back up to medium and continue cooking the rest of the pancakes.

Tips for the Tastiest Chocolate Chip Cookie Pancakes

Whisk the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining the two together. This helps ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed while cooking the pancakes.
When adding the crushed chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chips into the batter, make sure to gently fold them and do not vigorously mix. If you do this, you’ll crush the cookies and chocolate chips, and their shape and texture won’t be maintained.
While it may seem counter-intuitive, you actually want some lumps in the pancake batter. These add texture and tastiness. There’s no need to over-mix the batter for the pancakes.
Be sure your pan is not too hot. You can easily test how hot your pan is by adding butter to the pan - it should remain white. If it turns brown and nutty instantly, take the pan off the heat for a minute or so.
To avoid breaking the pancakes, make sure one side completely cooks before flipping. When there are small bubbles on the surface of the pancake, then this is the perfect time to flip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes these taste like chocolate chip cookies?▼

Crushed chocolate chip cookies and a handful of chocolate chips are folded right into the pancake batter, and the stack is finished with whole cookies on top. So you get that cookie flavour baked into every bite, plus cookies to dunk.

What is the creamy milk dip?▼

It's a quick whisk-together of cream cheese, sugar and milk — a creamy stand-in for the cold glass of milk you'd normally dunk cookies in. You dip the pancakes and cookies straight into it as you eat.

Can I use store-bought cookies?▼

Absolutely — the recipe just calls for chocolate chip cookies, crushed, so use whatever you have, homemade or from a packet. Crush them in a zip-top bag or mash them in a bowl before folding them into the batter.

How do I keep the pancakes warm while cooking?▼

Preheat your oven to 200°F and slide each finished pancake in on a plate or tray as you go. It's optional, but it keeps the whole stack warm and soft while you cook through the rest of the batter.
