Time 2h

Yield about 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons coffee beans
1/3 cup turbinado sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 4 teaspoons milk or water

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Coarsely grind the coffee beans in a coffee grinder. Combine 1 tablespoon ground coffee in a small bowl with the turbinado sugar; set aside. Transfer the remaining coffee to a medium bowl and whisk in the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.

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!

SOFT CHEWY CRISP CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Soft Chewy Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies image

The best, Easy Soft Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies with simple steps and ONE added ingredient for a soft and chewy experience in LESS THAN 15 minutes!

Provided by Karina

Categories     Cookies

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (4 oz | 125 g) stick butter, melted (not spreadable)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar ((or a granulated sweetener that measures 1:1 with sugar))
2 tablespoons golden syrup ((or coconut syrup, agave, rice malt syrup, maple syrup or honey may be substituted))
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose or plain flour ((add more as needed -- only up to 1/4 cup extra)*)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 teaspoon salt
¾ cup chocolate chips (, divided)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Microwave the butter for about 30 seconds to just barely melt it (half soft and half melted).
  • Beat the butter with the brown and white sugar/s until creamy and pale in colour and sugar has dissolved. Pour in the syrup, vanilla and the egg, and lightly beat until just mixed through.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined. If needed, add in one tablespoon of the 'extra' flour at a time until the dough is still soft but easy to handle and firm enough to form one large ball (the dough should not be dry. I only needed 3 tablespoons of the extra flour).
  • Fold in half of the chocolate chips with your hands.
  • Scoop out 18-20 balls and arrange them on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie.
  • Bake for about 10-11 minutes. The cookies will look pale and puffed up, but should be golden around the edges. DO NOT OVER BAKE or your cookies will become hard once they have cooled.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes.
