SEEDED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Seeded Chocolate Chip Cookies image

When I make chocolate-chip cookies, I always use a recipe from the pastry chef Sherry Yard, with whom I wrote two cookbooks, as my touchstone. It doesn't matter whether or not I'm adding ingredients like nuts and seeds, or using different types of flours. I always use a quality dark chocolate (70 percent or higher), and I cut it into chunks the way she does. I don't skimp on quantity when it comes to the chocolate, but in this adaptation I've reduced the sugar by 25 percent and thrown in a good measure of rolled oats, sunflower seeds, chia seeds and pumpkin seeds. I've made these cookies using half whole-wheat flour and using all unbleached all-purpose flour, and I prefer the whole-wheat version - and not just because it's healthier. I love the nutty flavor of the flour, which complements the nutty flavor of the seeds. You would think that adding wholesome ingredients like oats and seeds to a classic chocolate-chip cookie would result in something weighty, vintage 1970s, but on the contrary, the oats and seeds stretch the dough and make the cookies lighter than all-flour cookies. Bake them until they're nice and dark on the bottom, and when you rotate the trays halfway through, tap them on the oven racks to get the cookies to flatten a bit. The end result is a crisp cookie with no shortage of melting chocolate chunks.

Time 45m

Yield About 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup/60 grams whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup/65 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon/2 grams baking soda
4 ounces (1 stick)/ 115 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup/50 grams organic granulated sugar (regular will work also)
1/2 cup/80 grams packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon/2 grams fine sea salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla/5 milliliters
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons/50 grams sunflower seeds
2 heaped tablespoons/25 grams pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon/12 grams chia seeds
1/2 cup (scant)/50 grams rolled oats
8 ounces/225 grams bittersweet chocolate (or more if desired), cut in 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Sift together flours and baking soda and set aside. In bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until lemony yellow, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of the bowl and paddle. Add organic sugar, brown sugar and salt. Continue creaming mixture on medium speed until it is lump free, about 1 minute. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of the bowl and the paddle.
  • Add egg and vanilla and beat on low speed for 15 seconds, or until they are fully incorporated. Do not overbeat. Scrape down sides of the bowl and paddle.
  • On low speed, add sifted flour mixture. Beat slowly until all of the flour is incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add seeds, oats and chocolate chunks and mix in.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees with racks adjusted to the lower third and middle of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon dough by heaped teaspoons (or use a 1-inch scoop) 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake 14 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned, rotating baking sheets from top to bottom and from front to back halfway through the baking. Remove from oven and slide parchment off the baking sheet and onto a work surface. Allow cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving, or for at least 20 minutes before storing in an airtight container. Cookies will keep for three days at room temperature.

TAHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Tahini, a rich paste made from ground sesame seeds, gives these chewy cookies a distinctive nutty flavor. It also makes the dough extra light and fluffy when you first put it together, so make sure to leave ample time to chill it before baking the cookies.

Categories     dessert

Time 7h30m

Yield about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 3/4 cups lightly packed dark brown sugar
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup tahini
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
One 11.5-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chunks (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat the brown sugar, butter, tahini and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes (use the paddle attachment if using a stand mixer). Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks by hand. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate until very firm, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
  • Position oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Stir together the white and black sesame seeds in a small bowl. Scoop a leveled 1/4-cup mound of the cookie dough (an ice cream scoop works well here), then dip the top of the mound into the sesame seeds and transfer to one of the parchment-lined baking sheets. Continue scooping until you have 6 mounds on each baking sheet. Refrigerate the remaining cookie dough.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets from front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, about 18 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Allow the baking sheets to cool, then line with fresh parchment and repeat the process with the remaining dough.

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

We skipped the white sugar and went all in with dark brown sugar, which gives our cookies the ideal chewiness and perfect level of sweetness. Paired with the right amount of semisweet chocolate chips, this treat is a definite winner. The recipe makes a lot of cookies, but in our opinion, this is never a problem!

  • Bake at 375 degrees until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cool the baking sheets completely, then line with parchment paper and repeat the scooping and baking process with the remaining dough.

QUINTESSENTIAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Quintessential Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Sherry Yard's iconic chocolate-chip cookies are just the right mix of chewy and crisp, with a bittersweet morsel of chocolate in each bite. They are the cookies anyone who asks you to make chocolate chip cookies are asking for -- the kind of chocolate cookie that demands to be dunked into a glass of ice-cold milk.

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield About 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

185 grams all-purpose flour (1 1/2 cups)
2 grams baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)
115 grams butter (4 ounces/1 stick)
100 grams sugar (1/2 cup)
80 grams light brown sugar (1/2 cup packed)
2 grams salt (1/4 teaspoon)
1 egg
5 grams vanilla (1 teaspoon)
225 grams bittersweet chocolate (8 ounces), cut in 1-inch pieces (or use coins)

Steps:

  • Sift together flour and baking soda and set aside. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until lemony yellow, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle. Add sugar, brown sugar and salt. Continue creaming mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and lump free, about 1 minute. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
  • Add egg and vanilla and beat on low speed for 15 seconds, or until they are fully incorporated. Do not over-beat. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
  • On low speed, add sifted flour mixture. Beat slowly until all of the flour is incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add chocolate chunks and mix in.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees with the rack positioned in the lower third of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Spoon heaping teaspoons of dough 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. If not baking right away, remove small handfuls or spoonfuls of dough from mixer and plop them down on the middle of a sheet of parchment or wax paper, creating a log about 1 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long. Fold parchment over, creating a sausage. Chill for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. Using a serrated knife, slice chilled dough into 1/3-inch-thick rounds and place them 2 inches apart, in staggered rows, on parchment-lined sheets and proceed. (Dough will keep nicely, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing.)
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned, rotating the baking sheet front to back halfway through. Remove from heat and slide parchment off baking sheet and onto a work surface. Allow cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving, or for at least 20 minutes before storing in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.

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!

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!

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Make the cookie dough up to 3 days in advance and keep it chilled in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to have fresh-baked cookies whenever you crave them.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the cookie dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. If you're short on time, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate Chips: The quality of your chocolate chips will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies. Use semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips for a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • 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°F (190°C). This temperature allows the cookies to brown evenly without burning.
  • Cool the Cookies Completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

These seeded chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
