THICK, SOFT, AND CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Thick, Soft, and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I moved out of the house in 1992 but my dad still insist I make his chocolate chip cookies for him. After much searching these are the ones we deemed "best". Soft and chewy but with a lightly crisp outer layer. If you don't want the crispness, substitute more butter for the shortening. I have found that you need to follow the directions *exactly* to get the best cookies. Not using real butter or all brown sugar, not beating the eggs in one at a time, not baking them at a higher temp than the "traditional" recipe, all make a difference in the end result. I have also found that Land o' Lake butter makes a better cookie than some generic brand butter. Don't let the butter sit out too long. It needs to soften but if it sits until the moisture starts to separate from the butter, it is too soft and it will affect the resulting cookies. If that happens, refrigerate the dough for about an hour to help them not spread as much. It also helps to use the mixer on the dough in between batches going into the oven. It helps keep the dough from starting to separate if it is a warm day. Another thing I've learned is you have to make sure there is plenty of circulation in your oven. When I moved, my cookies started turning out flat again. I finally realized that my oven was smaller at the new house and when I switched to smaller cookie sheets, my cookies turned out perfectly!

The Best Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World image

These are simply amazing. If you are looking for a soft and chewy melt in your mouth chocolate chip cookie -- this is it. Look no further. Just try and only eat one. This is one of my most requested recipes.

Provided by Cake Baker

Categories     Dessert

Time 23m

Yield 11 dozen tsp. sized cookies, 132 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups Crisco
1 cup white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
4 1/2 cups flour
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cream the Crisco and sugars together. Add the soda, salt and vanilla to the creamed mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the flour and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and nuts.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoons (or tablespoons) on a ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes at 375 (just until set in the middle, but not done!). Let cool 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to a cooling rack.
  • **Add 1/2 cup baking cocoa for chocolate chocolate chip cookies. Try peanut butter chips or M&M's in place of the chocolate chips.
  • **IMPORTANT: Do not adjust the amount of eggs or shortening -- it will mess with how the cookie spreads. I have tried.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. If you can, use a combination of semisweet and bittersweet chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give the cookies a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help them set and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

These soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're in the mood for a delicious cookie, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
