Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb unsalted butter, cut into 1 ounce pieces
2 cups dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons dark rum (don't leave this out!)

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!

THICK-AND-GOOEY CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES



Thick-and-Gooey Chocolate-Chip Cookies image

These hefty and extremely satisfying treats should be devoured with a cool glass of milk on hand. In the search for the perfect iteration of chocolate-chip cookies, three subsets of cookie rose to the top (check out the crisp and chewy versions to compare). Each recipe was tested more than a half-dozen times, so please grant us some generosity. Note that this version uses baking powder and the balls of dough are considerably larger.

BIG THICK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Big Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I like my cookies thick and chewy rather than thin and crispy. If you do too, then here's the recipe you should try.

Provided by Chris from Kansas

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup Crisco
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened but still firm
1 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large whole egg
1 large egg white
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 ounces chocolate chips (about 1 3/4 cups) or 10 ounces semisweet chocolate chunks (about 1 3/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Beat Crisco and butter in a medium bowl with back of a wooden spoon until pretty smooth but with a few harder pieces till left (about 1 minute).
  • Add sugars and beat until well blended.
  • Add egg, egg white and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Mix together flour, baking powder and salt and stir into butter mixture.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • For each cookie, shape 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball with your fingers and place on parchment-lined cookie sheet with 1 1/2-inches between cookie dough.
  • Bake 14 minutes or until tops are well browned.
  • Slide parchment paper onto wire racks to cool.
  • Repeat with remaining dough and fresh sheets of parchment paper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate chips, the better the cookies will be. Look for chips that are made with real chocolate and that have a high cocoa content.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough 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 at a high temperature. A high baking temperature will help the cookies set quickly and prevent them from overspreading.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Perfect thick chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make perfect thick chocolate chip cookies that are sure to impress your family and friends.
