Jason and Travis Kelce's mom shared the crowd-pleaser cookie recipe she always brings to her sons' football games

• Donna Kelce's sons, Jason and Travis Kelce, both played in the Super Bowl on February 12.
• Before the game, Kelce told NBC that she always makes chocolate-chip cookies for her sons' teams.

Donna Kelce, the mom to Super Bowl LVII players Jason and Travis Kelce, was at the game on Sunday to cheer on both of her boys, who play for the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs respectively.

But in the week leading up to the game, she spoke with NBC Sports about one of her tastiest game-day rituals: her homemade chocolate-chip cookies.

"I always bring cookies to the games," Kelce told NBC Sports. "All their friends want them. It's just love from home."

The outlet posted a video of the interview to TikTok on Friday, which included a photo of the football players' mom in a combination Eagles-Chiefs jersey handing out see-through containers of chocolate-chip cookies.

"Everybody has a basic chocolate-chip recipe," she said. "You know, with brown sugar and flour." But Kelce gets a little creative with her cookies and tweaks a classic recipe slightly to make it her own.

Kelce said that she uses both cake flour and regular flour — one cup of each, to be exact — in her recipe, and melts the butter in the microwave before incorporating it into the other ingredients. "It just makes the cookies creamier," she said of the melted butter.

She also said she uses both white chocolate and milk chocolate chips for some variety, and adds "a little bit" of cinnamon for a spice-filled twist. Kelce added that an important step in her recipe is allowing the dough to rest overnight in her refrigerator, which she says helps all the flavors mesh together to become cohesive.

"So that's really the only changes that I do to a cookie recipe," Kelce said. And while they may seem simple, there are a lot of ways chocolate-chip cookies can go wrong. So if you're looking for NFL athlete-approved treats, you can try making this mom's adjustments to the classic recipe you typically turn to.
