Cuisine American

Servings 2 people

Ingredients

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/3 cup chocolate chips (mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate for extra deliciousness)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, baking soda, flour, and cocoa powder. Make sure there are no lumps.
Create the cookie dough. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the cookies. Divide the dough in half to form two large balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them as they will spread during baking. Flatten each ball slightly with your hand.
Bake to Perfection Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. This will ensure they remain soft and chewy in the center. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (or enjoy warm if you can’t wait!).

Notes

Tips for the Best Cookies

Butter: Using melted butter gives these cookies a denser, chewier texture.
Sugar: A mix of granulated and brown sugar adds depth and richness.
Chill Time: If you have the patience, chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help enhance the flavors and texture.
Storage: These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt

Preparing the Shrimp

In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated with the spices.
Heat a large skillet pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chopped cilantro, sriracha, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Tacos

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.
Place a generous spoonful of shredded cabbage on each tortilla.
Top with 3–4 shrimp, slices of avocado, and a drizzle of the shrimp taco sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
