Blueberries are both healthy and great tasting. I altered this original recipe by adding a bunch of them, along with some dried cranberries and some yogurt for butter. They are still big and chewy and super yummy but healthier as well.

Tips: Achieving Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Use bread flour: Its higher protein content creates a chewier texture than all-purpose flour.
  • Chill the dough: This step firms up the butter, resulting in a thicker cookie that spreads less during baking.
  • Cream the butter and sugars thoroughly: This step incorporates air into the mixture, making the cookies light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, making the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This creates a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior.
  • Use a variety of chocolate chips: This adds different flavors and textures to the cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This allows the flavors to develop and the texture to set.

Conclusion: The Perfect Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
