CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

Tender, puffy, and fudgy with perfectly crisp edges -- these chocolate chunk cookies taste better than Toll House and are more reliable.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Desserts

Time 45m

Yield About 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
⅔ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup (packed) dark brown sugar (fine to substitute light)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2½ cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled (preferably King Arthur flour - see note)
6 oz bittersweet chocolate, best quality such as Ghriardelli, roughly chopped
2 oz milk chocolate, best quality such as Ghirardelli, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars for 3 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and cafe au lait-colored (use high speed on a hand mixer and medium speed on a stand mixer). Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat for 2 minutes more. Scrape down the bowl. Add the salt and baking soda and beat briefly until evenly combined. Add the flour and both chocolates, and mix on low speed until the flour is completely blended and the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or scrape the dough into an airtight container and let rest in the refrigerator until firm, a few hours. (Alternatively, if you don't want to wait, form the dough into balls on the baking sheet as instructed below and chill in the fridge until firm, about 30 minutes.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drop the dough in firmly packed 1.5-tablespoon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (I use a #40/1.5-T cookie scoop with a wire trigger.) Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until golden around the edges but still soft and pale in the center. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Note: Some readers have had issues with the cookies being flat. This can happen as a result of using a "softer" flour. I highly recommend King Arthur All Purpose Flour for this recipe -- it's high in protein and gluten, and helps cookies hold their shape.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) The baked cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Steps:

Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the butter with the mixer on low speed, mixing only until combined. Fold in the walnuts and chocolate chunks.
  • Drop the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, using a 1 3/4-inch-diameter ice cream scoop or a rounded tablespoon. Dampen your hands and flatten the dough slightly.

GIANT CRINKLED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Giant Crinkled Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 extra-large egg, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, such as Lindt
Fleur de sel or sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange three racks evenly spaced in the oven (see Cook's Note).
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed for 3 minutes, until creamy. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the egg, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of warm water and mix on low speed just to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture, then the chocolate (including the fine chocolate dust) to the batter until combined. Mix well with a rubber spatula.
  • With a 2 1/4-inch standard ice cream scoop (or 1/3 cup measure), make 12 rounded scoops of dough and place them on a sheet pan. Freeze the dough for exactly 15 minutes, then arrange 4 balls of dough--spaced wide apart--on each of three sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cookies are slightly puffed in the center. Remove the pans from the oven and bang them on the stove top, until the center of the cookies deflate. Bake for 3 minutes, then bang the pans again, repeating baking and banging every 3 minutes, for 18 to 20 minutes total, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. (The centers will be lighter and not fully cooked.) Rotate the sheet pans in the oven so the cookies bake evenly. Sprinkle the cookies with fleur de sel and cool completely on the pans.
