THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

There are a few secrets to the best classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Number one: Don't use chips; instead, opt for a mix of milk or semisweet and dark chocolate chunks. The second is to let the dough rest overnight or longer for a more complex, toffee-like flavor. Lastly, use an ice cream scooper to get even-sized cookies every time. And that's it! With these little tweaks, the result is a cookie that's textured on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside. Absolutely perfect!

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
4 oz dark chocolate chunk, or your preference

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
  • Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
  • Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
  • Cool completely before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final product. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing. Baking is a science, and changing the recipe can result in a failed batch of cookies.
  • Pay attention to the oven temperature: The oven temperature is critical for baking cookies. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Don't overbake the cookies. They should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Bohemian cookies are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They can be made with a variety of different ingredients and flavors, so there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will love. Whether you're looking for a classic chocolate chip cookie or something more unique, like a lavender-scented cookie, you're sure to find a Bohemian cookie recipe that you'll love.
