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!

THICK AND CHEWY NUTELLA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Thick and Chewy Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I was looking for a good Nutella cookie recipe and found this on Recipe Goldmine. It's crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside and makes the house smell *heavenly* while it's baking. I would recommend using chopped hazelnuts instead of walnuts or pecans to enhance the Nutella flavor.

Time 33m

Yield 14 cookies, 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour (2 cups plus 2 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled until warm
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup nutella
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 1 cup pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 20 x 14 baking sheet without sides with parchment paper.
  • Mix flour, salt and baking soda together in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
  • With electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in Nutella, egg, yolk and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Stir in chips.
  • Form 1/4 cup dough into ball. Holding ball using fingertips of both hands, pull into two equal halves. Rotate halves 90 degrees and with jagged surfaces exposed, join halves together at their base, again forming a single cookie, being careful not to smooth dough's uneven surface. Place formed dough onto sheet, about nine balls per sheet. (Smaller cookie sheets can be used but fewer cookies can be baked at one time and the time may need to be adjusted).
  • Bake until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden, yet centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 18 minutes (start checking at 13 minutes). (Frozen dough requires an extra 1 to 2 minutes baking time.) Cool cookies on sheets. Store in an airtight container.
  • NOTE: I used a large cookie scoop to portion out the dough instead of shaping it by hand as described above. The cookies came out a little smaller than the giant 1/4 cup size, but they still looked great. They will deflate a little as they cool so keep that in mind when determining baking time. I baked mine for the full 18 minutes, or just until the centers were soft but not squishy. The cookie scoop method yielded 17 large cookies.

BEST-EVER THICK AND CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Best-Ever Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

adapted from Baking at Home with the Culinary Institute of America Three little tweaks take this chocolate chunk cookie recipe from simply delicious to sensational: • Culture uses a higher-fat unsalted European-style butter. "It's more expensive," says LoCascio, "but it's better." Most butter clocks in at 80 percent...

Categories     Cookies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
2 sticks (16 tbsp) european style unsalted butter, room temperature
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups dark chocolate chunks

Steps:

  • 1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing between additions and scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla extract and mix. On low speed or by hand, stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, mixing until just incorporated. Do not over-mix. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Using a cookie scoop, ice cream scoop, or two spoons, form dough balls and place on prepared cookie sheets with a few inches of room in between. Refrigerate overnight. Preheat the oven to 375 F with rack in the center. Line cookie sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats. Bake for 10-13 minutes (depending on the size of your dough balls), until they are golden brown around the edges and puffy in the center. Let cookies cool a few minutes on baking sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  • 2. • "Another trick of the trade is refrigerating the dough," he says. "We make the dough, shape it into balls, refrigerate and bake it the next day. It keeps [the cookies] a little bit thicker but still moist." • "The key is getting really good chocolate," advises LoCascio. "We use a darker chocolate." Buy your favorite dark chocolate bar and cut it into chunks yourself, or buy the best quality dark chocolate chunks you can find in the baking aisle.

Yield 18 3-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/8 cups (2 cups plus 2 tablespoons) un-sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1-2 cups semi-or bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 325oF. Adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside. Either by hand or with electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in egg, yolk, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Stir in chips to taste. 2.Form scant 1/4 cup dough into ball. Holding dough ball using fingertips of both hands, pull into two equal halves. Rotate halves ninety degrees and, with jagged surfaces exposed, join halves together at their base, again forming a single cookie, being careful not to smooth dough's uneven surface. Place formed dough onto one of two parchment paper-lined 20-by-14-inch lipless cookie sheets, about nine dough balls per sheet. Smaller cookie sheets can be used, but fewer cookies can be baked at one time and baking time may need to be adjusted. (Dough can be refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen up to 1 month-shaped or not.) 3. Bake, reversing cookie sheets' positions halfway through baking, until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 18 minutes (start checking at 13 minutes). (Frozen dough requires an extra 1 to 2 minutes baking time.) Cool cookies on cookie sheets. Serve or store in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, sugar, and chocolate chips. Avoid using margarine, artificial sweeteners, or low-quality chocolate chips. Ingredients high quality will create a noticeable difference.
  • 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 spread less and keep their shape. To chill the dough, place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling keeps the cookie dough moist, produces fudgy texture cookies, and prevents excess spreading.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating them. Letting the cookies cool completely will help them set and become more chewy. If you eat the cookies while they are still warm, they will be gooey and may fall apart.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies that are perfect for any occasion. These cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So what are you waiting for? Preheat your oven and get baking!
