Chocolate Chip Mochi Cookies

For the Mochi: Mix together the glutinous rice flour and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Gradually stir in the 3/4 cup water until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stretch the dough a couple of times when cooled.

For the Chocolate Cookie Dough: Cream together the unsalted butter and both 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the 1/4 cup chocolate chips.

Assembly: Take small portions of the cookie dough and flatten them. Place a small ball of mochi inside the flattened cookie dough and carefully fold the dough around the mochi to enclose it.

Bake: Preheat oven to 350F. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes.
