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.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Large or small, these triple chocolate cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Refrigerating the batter for 48 hours before baking is ideal, as this allows the dough to fully form its flavor.

Provided by Josh Graham

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup brown sugar

1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 (3 ounce) bar dark chocolate, cut into chunks

  • Mix flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add slowly to the wet ingredients until mostly incorporated, but some white traces of flour remain. 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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cookies will be gooey and overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
