Best 4 Chewy CafÉ Style Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

SOFT CHEWY CRISP CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Microwave the butter for about 30 seconds to just barely melt it (half soft and half melted).
• Beat the butter with the brown and white sugar/s until creamy and pale in colour and sugar has dissolved. Pour in the syrup, vanilla and the egg, and lightly beat until just mixed through.
• Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined. If needed, add in one tablespoon of the 'extra' flour at a time until the dough is still soft but easy to handle and firm enough to form one large ball (the dough should not be dry. I only needed 3 tablespoons of the extra flour).
• Fold in half of the chocolate chips with your hands.
• Scoop out 18-20 balls and arrange them on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie.
• Bake for about 10-11 minutes. The cookies will look pale and puffed up, but should be golden around the edges. DO NOT OVER BAKE or your cookies will become hard once they have cooled.
• Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl.
• Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (Use the paddle attachment for a stand mixer.) Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and beat until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
• Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Use a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to scoop half the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Chill the remaining dough while you bake the first batch.
• Bake at 375 degrees until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cool the baking sheets completely, then line with parchment paper and repeat the scooping and baking process with the remaining dough.

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat together the cooled melted butter and the sugars with a hand mixer for about one minute. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix briefly, just until there are no flour crumbs left. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to an hour.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 325, making sure you have the racks in the middle of the oven.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and preheat to 325 degrees, making sure you have the racks in the middle of the oven.
• Scoop 1/4 cup of cookie dough at a time and roll into balls. Then, tear the balls in half by pulling gently on both sides.
• Smash the two halves together, but this time have the lumpy, torn sides face upward. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the cookies have plenty of space to spread.
• Bake for about 12 minutes, rotating halfway through, or until the cookies have spread out and the edges are golden, but the center of the cookie still looks soft and justly slightly undercooked.
• Let cool on the baking sheets until the cookies are firm enough to remove.
