Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 30 cookie

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baker's ammonia
1 cup unsalted butter, high-quality, cubed, and softened
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
additional topping, chocolate chips, whole almonds, or raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baker's ammonia.
  • In a separate medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla and continue beating until fully combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to incorporate.
  • Roll about 1 ounce of dough at a time in your hands to make walnut-sized balls. They will be small, about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space between each cookie. Using a flat-bottomed measuring cup, gently press down on the cookies to flatten.
  • Top each cookie with 3 chocolate chips, a single almond, or raisins.
  • Bake the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown and the edges are crispy.
  • Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: GRANNY STYLE RECIPE BY TASTY



Chocolate Chip Cookies: Granny Style Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: granulated sugar, brown sugar, kosher salt, unsalted butter, large egg, vanilla extract, all purpose flour, baking soda, chocolate chips, sea salt, milk

Provided by Codii Lopez

Categories     Desserts

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups chocolate chips
1 pinch sea salt
milk, for serving

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 dissolving back into the mixture.
  • Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold with a spatula to combine. (Be careful not to overmix, as the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies.)
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or, for a more intense, toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 centimeters) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 centimeters) 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. Top each cookie with a pinch of sea salt as soon as they come out of the oven, then let cool completely.
  • Serve with a glass of milk.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 100

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Dutch cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups (2 sticks plus 4 tablespoons) unsalted, butter room temperature
2 cups sugar, plus more for dipping
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, 2 cups sugar, and eggs on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix to combine. Gradually add dry ingredients, and combine with mixer on low speed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and chill until dough is firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with Silpat baking mats. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Dip top of each ball into sugar. Place on prepared baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until set, about 8 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter. This will help the cookies spread and bake evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

Charlene's Grandma's Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cookies turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give Charlene's Grandma's Cookies a try!
