THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY
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!

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!

Steps:
- Combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until a creamy, deep brown mixture forms. Add egg and vanilla; beat until mixture lightens and becomes smooth, 10 to 15 seconds.

Fold in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate using a spatula, not the mixer. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 48 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) when ready to bake.
- Divide cold dough into 2 1/4-ounce portions and place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the edges start to look golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake; the centers will not look fully done. Cool until cookies are set, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a large baking sheet, roast the pecans for 10 to 12 minutes. While the nuts are still hot, stir in 2 tablespoons butter. Turn the oven up to 375 degrees.
- Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda or baking powder in a medium mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream fat and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the corn syrup, if using. Add the liquid or egg and beat thoroughly. Beat in the vanilla. On low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined. Scrape down the sides once with a rubber spatula. Add the pecans and chocolate chips. Beat 5 seconds on low. Use the rubber spatula to finish mixing well.
- Spray cookie sheets lightly with nonstick cooking spray. With a tablespoon or small ice cream/food scoop (I use a No. 40, about 11/2 inches diameter), drop slightly heaped tablespoons of batter about 2 inches apart onto the greased sheets. Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes or until the edges just begin to brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet on a cooling rack for 3 minutes, then remove the cookies to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside In a large bowl, whisk butter and sugars together until smooth. Whisk in the egg and yolk, then blend in the vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients to the wet. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until cookie dough comes together. Stir in the desired add-ins. Dough will be very soft. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 3 hours, or up to 4 days. Preheat oven to 325F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside. Roll dough into balls, using 2 Tbsp of dough. Place balls 3 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake for 12-13 minutes or when lightly brown on the side and centers still appear soft. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes, transfer to wire racks.
Tips:
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies spread less and results in a chewier cookie.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips: The better the chocolate chips, the better the cookies. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high percentage of cacao.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking chocolate chip cookies is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Baking the cookies at a lower temperature will result in a softer cookie, while baking them at a higher temperature will result in a crispier cookie.
- Let the cookies cool completely: Letting the cookies cool completely before eating them will help them set and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
Chocolate chip cookies are a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make delicious chocolate chip cookies that will be a hit at your next party or gathering.
