What is self-rising flour?

Self-rising flour has a little salt and a little baking powder mixed in with a soft version of all-purpose flour, so the leavening agent (the thing that makes your cookies rise and gives them that soft and fluffy texture) is all in there. You can find self-rising flour in the baking aisle right near the regular all-purpose flour.

Can chocolate chips be used instead of chocolate chunks?

Technically yes, but one of the magical parts of this cookie is the big pockets of chocolate that you get from the chunks. They can sometimes be found in the baking aisle of your supermarket, and Target is pretty reliable about stocking them. When I can't find them, I buy about six Hershey bars and break them into chunks.

This recipe really doesn't need any sugar?

I promise that between the maple syrup and the chocolate, these cookies are going to be just the right amount of sweet! And it's fun having folks try and guess what the secret ingredient is!

Notes

Self-Rising Flour: Make sure you use this variety of flour and not regular all-purpose flour. It’s easy to find in the baking aisle.

Butter: Either salted or unsalted will work fine – I tend to use salted for this recipe.

Maple Syrup: Use the real stuff! No imitation maple syrup for this recipe…look for it in the breakfast aisle of your supermarket.
