Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (about 12 ounces) semisweet and/or milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, 1/4 cup water, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake until cookies are golden brown 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

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.

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.)

THIN & CRISP CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Thin & Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies image

This recipe is from Fine Cooking. These are so buttery, crisp and delicious! The key to the crispness is the ratio of more white sugar than brown, the proportion of butter to the rest of the ingredients, and the fact that the butter and egg are at room temperature (the butter is soft). Edited 5/22/06: I added tips in step 10 and 11 to help make sure they turn out thin and crispy. Another tip might be to warm the cookie sheet before adding the dough (I don't do this, though). Maybe the tips will help. As you can see in the picture, mine come out thin, and I think they're very buttery and crispy. Chocolate chip cookies were first served at the Tollhouse Inn in Massachusetts.

Time 20m

Yield 72 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (13.5 oz)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (I like the Ghirardelli double chocolate chips)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375° and place racks in middle and top levels of the oven.
  • Beat together the butter and sugars on high mixer speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  • Scrape bowl and paddle beater.
  • Add eggs and vanilla, and beat on low until incorporated.
  • Then beat on high for about 1 minute until light and fluffy again.
  • Scrape bowl and paddle again.
  • In a separate medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • Add this to the butter mixture and beat on medium until just blended.
  • Stir in chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
  • Drop rounded teaspoons of dough 2-inches apart onto the greased cookie sheets. Tip - don't make these larger - larger amounts of dough won't flatten well.
  • Bake until deep golden brown around the edges, and lightly golden in the center- about 8-10 minutes, rotating the sheets after about 4 minutes to get more even results. Tip - when you rotate the sheets after 4 minutes, check to see if the cookies have flattened well. If not, shake the pan gently to spread the dough and flatten a little more. Then, contine to bake until brown and crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest 3-5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
