Time 1h50m

Yield 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces unsalted butter
12 ounces bread flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ounces granulated sugar
8 ounces light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 ounce whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda onto a paper plate. Pour the butter into your stand mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar and beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the whole egg, the egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract in a measuring cup. Reduce the mixer speed and slowly add the egg mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Using the paper plate as a slide, gradually integrate the dry ingredients, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Once the flour is worked in, drop the speed to "stir" and add the chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and place racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven.
  • Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-ounce portions onto parchment-lined half sheet pans, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake 2 sheets at a time for 15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Remove from the oven, slide the parchment with the cookies onto a cooling rack and wait at least 5 minutes before devouring.

THE CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE



The Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie image

These soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies are just like the childhood classic, but far, far better.This is essentially a hack of the most famous chocolate chip cookie recipe in the world, which we all know from the back of the Nestle "morsel" bag. Extra chewiness is attained by substituting bread flour for regular all-purpose, replacing one egg white with milk, and changing the ratio of brown to white sugar. I don't recommend half or double batches. Instead, make a whole batch, bake what you want, portion, and freeze the rest.Both U.S. standards and metric measurements are listed, but for consistently delicious results, go metric. This recipe first appeared in Season 3 of Good Eats.

  • Using the paper plate as a slide, gradually integrate the dry ingredients, stopping a few times to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Once the flour is worked in, add the chocolate chipsI'd suggest chopping your own dark chocolate chunks in the 68% cocoa range.. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
  • Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-ounce portions and place on the half-sheet pans, 6 cookies per sheet.
  • Bake two sheets at a time for 15 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • To make sure your cookies are gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats and almond flour. You can also use other gluten-free flours, such as brown rice flour or sorghum flour.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grind the oats in a blender or with a mortar and pestle. Just make sure they are finely ground.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're craving a sweet snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
