Time 45m

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until almost melted; do not overheat. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; beat in melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 10 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

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!

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!

"THOSE" CHOCOLATE COOKIES



My DH lovingly refers to these as "Those" chocolate cookies, and without saying, I know which ones he is talking about. I call them chocolate pills. They cure just about anything that ails me. Recipe by Ann Hodgman.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h25m

Yield 36-48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
9 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
9 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Place a metal bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and add the first three ingredients.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring, until they are almost melted, then remove from heat.
  • Continue to stir until they have all melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
  • In another large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar, using a mixer, for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Add the espresso power if using (I like these better without), also the vanilla, and beat for 2 additional minutes.
  • Stir in the melted chocolate until it is evenly mixed, then add the flour/baking powder/salt mixture.
  • When that is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate the batter for 20-25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Drop chilled batter by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the parchment lined cookie sheets about 2-inches apart.
  • Bake cookies, one baking sheet at a time, for approximately 8-10 minutes.
  • When done, cookies may appear cracked and shiny on top.
  • Allow cookies to rest for a few minutes, the place on a cookie rack to complete cooling.
  • Store any cooking you are not eating right away in the freezer or refrigerator, not the cookie jar.

CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Chocolate Cookies image

My grandmother used to make these and what a favorite they are. As I type this recipe, I see her handwriting and remember those good ole days! These are a delicate, cake like cookie with chocolate frosting. The nuts are optional, if you like them add them. Pecans or peanuts taste just as great as walnuts do.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cookies. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao content.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix 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 in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: Letting the cookies cool completely will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic dessert that is enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make chocolate chip cookies that are perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give one of these recipes a try.
