EXTRA-CRISPY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Extra-Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

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.

Categories     dessert

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.

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.

THE BEST CRISPY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



The Best Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These cookies are inspired by the thin and crispy style made popular by the Long Island bakery Tate's Bake Shop. In our version, we've upped the brown sugar, vanilla and chocolate chips for an even more flavorful and decadent treat.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield about 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl until completely combined. Beat the butter, oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer) on medium-high speed until creamy, about 5 minutes. The mixture will look broken but that's ok. Beat in 1 teaspoon water and the vanilla until smooth. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the eggs one at a time until incorporated. Beat in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Reserve the rest.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Lightly press about 3 of the remaining chocolate chips into each cookie.
  • Bake the cookies until they are a deep golden brown, rotating the pans halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with any remaining dough.

CRUNCHY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Very easy and quick recipe for the best addictive chocolate chip cookies using brown sugar.

Provided by jessica_k

Time 45m

Yield Makes Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup LIGHT MUSCOVADO BROWN SUGAR
1/3 cup white granulated sugar
3/4 cup melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package semisweet chocolate chips (preferable Hershey)
* YOU CAN INCREASE THE BUTTER UP TO 1 CUP IF YOU WANT GREASY COOKIES.
* YOU CAN INCREASE THE ""WHITE SUGAR"" UP TO 1/2 CUP FOR SWEETER COOKIES.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven 240C/gas for 10-15 minutes.
  • Put the melted butter with the brown and white sugar in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs (mixing after each) and the vanilla. Don't over mix.
  • Add in the Salt, Baking Powder, and Flour. Mix gently with the electric mixer until you get your cookie dough.
  • Add in the chocolate chips and mix them with the dough with a tablespoon.
  • Shape the cookies flat on a greased tin (use corn oil or butter).
  • Put the cookies in the oven 240C for 2 minutes then on 160C for 20-25 minutes. Remove and let them cool for 30 minutes to get best results.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help the cookies bake evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges and the tops are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Conclusion:

Crunchy chocolate chunk cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make the best chocolate chunk cookies that you and your loved ones will enjoy.
