In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream softened butter and sugar together until creamy.
½ cup butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar
Add egg, sorghum syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
1 large egg, ¼ cup sorghum syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add all purpose sorghum flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Stir to combine.
2 cups sorghum all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Stir in chocolate chips. And form into 14, 1-½ inch balls. Dip the tops of the cookie dough balls into raw sugar. Place sugar side up on a cookie sheet. Give plenty of room for cookies to spread while baking. I bake 6 per cookie sheet.
1 cup chocolate chips, 2 Tablespoons raw sugar
Bake 1 sheet at a time on the middle rack for 11 minutes. Cookies may seem a little undercooked. Allow them to cool completely on the cookie sheet to finish setting up.
Notes
Chill Dough:For thicker, chewier cookies, it is ideal to refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. However, I certainly have baked these cookies without any refrigerating time. The refrigeration time solidifies the butter, slowing the melting of it in the oven, while also hydrating the flour and allowing the flavors to develop.
