Categories     Chocolate

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 c (12 oz) all-purpose flour
1 tsp smallish-medium coarse sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 c /16 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips (grandma used nestle, we used ghiradelli)
2/3 c finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 5 minutes on medium speed on a KitchenAid Mixer.) Make sure the mixture gets VERY creamy.
  • 3. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add chocolate chips and the walnuts until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • 4. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. We baked ours for 14 minutes, just watch them. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. It was hard to wait 3 minutes, but we listened to Grandma's advice :) it was so hard to do...but well worth the wait...

SMART COOKIE - THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES EVER!



Smart Cookie - the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever! image

I can't believe that this recipe would be called HEALTHY! I made this cookie and it is now my husbands all time favorite cookie. I love it too. I found it in Prevention Magazine and I am posting it here so that I will never lose it! I usually either use mini chocolate chips or peanut butter chips. Yum!

Time 35m

Yield 16 cookies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canola oil
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large egg whites
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (4 oz)

Steps:

  • Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl. Whisk together oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in large bowl.
  • Whisk in egg whites and vanilla until smooth. Stir in dry ingredients until blended. Fold in oats and then chocolate.
  • Cover and chill dough at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Shape dough into 16 balls (1/4 scant cup each) with hands, using a little pressure.
  • Place 8 balls on each prepared sheet. With fingers, press each into a patty about 3" in diameter, allowing about 2" between patties for slight spreading.
  • Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until desired brownness (do not overbake), switching position of sheets halfway through.
  • Let cool a few minutes before moving to rack to cool completely.
  • My own note: the dough on this is not like your typical cookie dough. You will think something is wrong with it because it will crumble and fall apart and kind of look greasy. But just squeeze them together into palm size balls and you will get lovely big puffy cookies! Make sure there is plenty of space for them to expand!

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH + CUPCAKE = THE BEST CUPCAKE. EVER.



Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough + Cupcake = The BEST Cupcake. Ever. image

Seriously, I'm a cupcake aficionado and these cupcakes are amazing! I saw them on a bakery menu and decided to replicate them.

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Cupcake Recipes     Chocolate

Time 2h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 ⅓ cups water
⅓ cup canola oil
3 eggs

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt; set aside. Beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg and the vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Form the dough into tablespoon-sized balls; place onto a baking sheet, and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Beat 3 eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer to break up. Add the cake mix, water, and canola oil; continue beating for 2 minutes on medium speed. Spoon into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each 2/3 full. Place a frozen cookie dough ball on the top center of each cupcake.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake portion of the cupcake (not the cookie dough ball) comes clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE EVER



The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever image

Provided by George Duran

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups (12-ounce package) chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking sheets or spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Put the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl and stir it with a whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter until it is lighter in color. Slowly add in sugars and beat until it is light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time and beat until they are incorporated. Stir in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture using low speed, then stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes and then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cookies, so it's important to use a chocolate that you love. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies spread less and will also make them chewier.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you'll be able to make delicious chocolate chip cookies that are sure to please everyone. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
