CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Small changes can make a big difference. We took our basic chocolate chip cookie and made one isolated change at a time. We added, swapped, melted, baked low, baked high and chilled. But mostly we had fun. And with each slight tweak we made a new cookie with a different texture, look and taste from the last. Use our guide as a way to find the perfect cookie for you. No big changes necessary.

Time 1h35m

Yield about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter and both sugars with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a second large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at time, beating after each addition to incorporate; beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture, and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop 12 heaping tablespoons of dough onto each prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Roll each into a ball with slightly wet hands. Bake until the cookies are golden but still soft in the center, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
  • When the baking sheets have cooled completely, scoop the remaining dough onto 1 sheet and bake. Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Variations:
  • For cakey cookies: Replace the light brown sugar and granulated sugar with 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar. Bake at 375 degrees F until golden and tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • For crispy-cakey cookies: Bake the cookies at 425 degrees F until golden and crunchy on the outside, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • For chewy cookies: Use 1 cup light brown sugar and 1/4 cup corn syrup and omit the granulated sugar. Bake at 375 degrees F until golden and crunchy on the outside, and chewy on the inside, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • For super-chewy cookies: Substitute cake flour for all-purpose flour. Bake at 375 degrees F until golden with caramelized edges, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • For extra-crispy cookies: Bake the cookies at 300 degrees F until flat and crunchy, 24 to 28 minutes.

EASY ICE CUBE CHOCOLATE CUPS RECIPE BY TASTY



Easy Ice Cube Chocolate Cups Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: water, cream cheese, peanut butter, whole milk, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, kosher salt, whipped cream, chocolate sandwich cookies, pudding mix, whole milk, milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, chopped nuts, mini peanut butter cups, raspberries, fresh mint leaf, popsicle sticks

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 19

water
2 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup peanut butter
3 ½ teaspoons whole milk, divided
½ teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
¼ cup powdered sugar, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
1 pinch kosher salt
1 ¼ cups whipped cream, divided
14 chocolate sandwich cookies, divided
2.5 oz pudding mix, chocolate, 1 package
1 ½ cups whole milk, cold
2 cups milk chocolate, melted
2 cups white chocolate, melted
2 cups dark chocolate, melted
¼ cup chopped nuts
4 mini peanut butter cups
12 raspberries
fresh mint leaf
12 popsicle sticks

Steps:

  • Please be aware, you have to place the ice cube right in the chocolate as soon as you're able to remove it from its slot otherwise it will start to melt and the chocolate will not adhere.
  • Fill a 12-cup muffin tin with water.
  • Place a popsicle stick into each muffin cup.
  • Freeze until solid.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, peanut butter, 1½ teaspoons milk, ¼ teaspoon vanilla, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and salt until smooth.
  • Fold in ¼ cup (60 ML) of whipped cream with spatula. Set aside.
  • Separate the cream from 12 chocolate sandwich cookies into a separate medium bowl.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, remaining 2 teaspoons milk, and remaining ¼ teaspoon vanilla to the bowl with the cream filling. Whisk until well-combined.
  • Fold in the remaining cup of whipped cream with a spatula. Set aside.
  • Transfer the cookies to a zip-top bag and break into crumbs with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes, then let sit for 3 minutes, until the pudding thickens.
  • Remove the muffin tin from the freezer. Give the ice a minute to melt down just enough to remove each ice mold from the muffin cups.
  • Dip 4 of the ice discs into the melted milk chocolate, making sure not to fully submerge the ice disc. Set the chocolate-dipped ice discs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Dip 4 of the ice discs in the melted white chocolate, and the remaining 4 discs in the melted dark chocolate.
  • Once the chocolate has set, give the ice discs a minute to melt down slightly. Wiggle the ice disc out of the chocolate to reveal hollow chocolate cups.
  • Pipe the peanut butter mousse into the milk chocolate cups. Top with chopped nuts and a mini peanut butter cup.
  • Sprinkle chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs on the bottom of the white chocolate cups. Pipe the cookie cream filling on top of the crumbs. Garnish with more cookie crumbs and half of a chocolate sandwich cookie.
  • Pipe the chocolate pudding mixture into the dark chocolate cups. Top each one with 3 raspberries and fresh mint leaves.
  • Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CUPS



Chocolate Cups image

Compliments of Taste of Home. You need about 1 inch foil or paper cupcake cups ( these little suckers are SMALL compared to the regular sized cups). Can usually be found at a party or dollar store. You will also need a small flat never used paint brush or pastry brush. They say to add a dollop of whipped cream and then float on top of hot chocolate. I'm thinking that you could whip up a Butterscotch (or other) pudding and place inside or place sliced strawberries with whipped cream on top. Why not get even more creative and place maraschino cherries inside with a syrup and whipped cream. Let me know what you've done.

CHOCOLATE CUPS RECIPE



Chocolate Cups Recipe image

Chocolate Cups are delicious edible containers, perfect for serving candy, ice cream, mousse, and so much more. Learn how easy they are to make.

Provided by Elizabeth LaBau

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 ounces chocolate candy coating (or chopped chocolate)
Small candy cups (preferably the foil variety)
Small, clean paint brush (optional)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • With the help of a spoon, fill each candy cup to the brim with chocolate.
  • Allow the chocolate to sit for a few minutes, just until it starts to set around the edges.
  • Then grasp each candy cup by the bottom and invert it over the bowl of chocolate, letting the excess drip out. Once the extra chocolate is gone, you'll be left with a thin, even coating on the sides and bottom of your candy cup.
  • Allow the chocolate in the cups to solidify by placing all the cups on a baking sheet at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  • Once the chocolate has solidified, carefully peel each paper liner until all the cup comes out in one piece. Use your favorite fillings.
  • Enjoy!
  • Fill a cup about a quarter of the way full of chocolate, then use a paintbrush to paint the chocolate up the sides of the cup to the top.
  • Try to create an even layer, and inspect the cups as you finish them to make sure there are no weak, streaky areas.
  • Allow the chocolate in the cups to solidify by placing all the cups on a baking sheet at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  • Once the chocolate has solidified, carefully peel each paper liner until all the cup comes out in one piece. Use your favorite fillings.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best results. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% will give you a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before melting it. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the chocolate. If you use a microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it is completely melted.
  • When adding the melted chocolate to the other ingredients, be sure to do so gradually and stir constantly. This will help prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • If you are making the cups ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you are ready to serve the cups, let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before filling them.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cups are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on any occasion. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of different fillings, making them a perfect dessert for any party or gathering. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these classic chocolate cups a try!
