We took our classic chocolate chip cookie and made one little change: baking it at 300 degrees F instead of 375. The result is a cookie that's flat and crunchy, with a toffee flavor.

Time 1h35m

Yield about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
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 300 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 with an electric mixer 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, flat and crunchy, 24 to 28 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.

CRISP AND CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Crisp and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Cookie people take sides. You're either a soft-and-chewy fan or a lover of thin and crisp. But everyone goes for these chocolate chip treats. They're soft in the middle, slightly crunchy at the edges, and extra-big.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (but still cool to the touch-a finger pressed in should leave a dent but not sink in deeply)
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
5 ounces semisweet chocolate (61 to 66 percent), coarsely chopped (1 1/4 cups), plus more large, flat pieces or semisweet chocolate féves for tops (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter with both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on medium-high speed until light and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Stop beating and add flour, then beat on low to combine. Add both chocolates and beat to combine. (If you are working in a warm room and/or dough feels sticky or soft, refrigerate about 15 minutes before scooping and baking.)
  • Using a 2-ounce (1/4-cup) scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart (6 cookies per sheet); press each down to flatten slightly.
  • Top each cookie with a few large, flat pieces of chopped chocolate or whole féves (if desired). Bake one sheet of cookies 9 minutes; remove from oven and bang sheet on stove top or counter to deflate. Return to oven and bake 3 minutes; remove and bang again, then return to oven and bake until golden around edges and just barely set in centers, about 3 minutes more.
  • Transfer sheet to a wire rack and let cool 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a rack with a spatula; let cool completely. Repeat with remaining sheets, one at a time. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or frozen up to 2 months.

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

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!

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
4 oz dark chocolate chunk, or your preference

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!

This version is perfect for dunking in milk, and miles ahead of anything found in a plastic sleeve. Note that this recipe uses two eggs, directly between the crisp version's omission and the gooey version's use of three.

THIN-AND-CRISP CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES



Thin-and-Crisp Chocolate-Chip Cookies image

Chocolate-chip cookies tend to spark the kind of tense debate usually reserved for topics like religion and politics. Opinions on various brands abound, but an excellent recipe is the key to baked good paradise. This recipe, one of three that were extensively tested, is for a golden brown emblem of cookie engineering. Note that in this crisp version the ingredients include milk and light corn syrup, and the balls of dough are quite small. This version also calls for what might seem like a lot of salt, but one tablespoon is correct. Be sure to use Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and if you use Morton's, reduce the amount by about half. (Make the chewy and gooey versions to compare.)

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield Makes 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
14 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups chopped bittersweet chocolate (peasize pieces and shavings)
2 cups chopped toasted walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with foil. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter, sugars and corn syrup for about 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla, then the milk. Add the flour mixture all at once and blend just until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate and walnuts. Chill the dough for at least an hour.
  • Roll 2-tablespoon lumps of dough into balls, then place on the baking sheet and flatten to 1/4 inch-thick disks spaced 2 inches apart. Chill the dough between batches. Bake until the edges are dark golden brown, 14 to 17 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a baking rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps the cookies to hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • 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. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the insides will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will take too long to bake and they will be dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Once the cookies are baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them to 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, chewy chocolate chip cookies that will be a hit at your next party or gathering.
