Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield About 2 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cooked or canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, put the beans in a food processor; add the maple syrup and puree until very smooth.
  • Add the bean mixture to the creamed butter in the bowl of the stand mixer and beat on medium speed until completely smooth, stopping and scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula several times, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between additions; add the vanilla and mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl. Don¿t worry if the mixture looks curdled; it will smooth out when you add the dry ingredients.
  • Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together into a bowl. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the chocolate chips. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared pans, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies begin to turn golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes; do not overbake. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes on the pan before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chocolate Chip Cookies image

With more than 100 recipes for chocolate chip cookies, why do we need another? Because this one is simply divine and originated in the kitchen of one of the finest bakers known. Not me silly, none other than Jacques Torres who lives by the credo "Life is short, eat dessert first." I love his recipes and consider anything prepared from his books a necessary indulgence. Life just tastes better with chocolate. Should you find yourself in New York be sure to visit one of his stores. Not on the standard list of attractions but pure nirvana for chocoholics. Back to the cookie, it is sinful and sultry and gooey yet not overly sweet. Shhhh, the secret is the corn syrup and shaved chocolate in the dough. As far as the chocolate choices, pick your favorites. My suggestion is shaved dark chocolate with semi-sweet chips/chunks and toasted pecans. (In a July 2008 NYT article Chef Torres noted getting a superior result with chocolate chip cookies by chilling the dough between 12 and 48 hours before baking. Will have to give this a try soon.)

Time 28m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup light brown sugar, well packed
1 large egg
1/2 vanilla bean
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 pinch baking soda
1 pinch salt
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chunks (either high quality milk or dark chocolate)
1 cup grated chocolate (semi-sweet or other)
1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the sugars and corn syrup. Beat at medium-high speed for 3 to 4 minutes until the butter is light and fluffy and much of the granular sugar is dissolved into the butter. Add the egg and the scrapings from the inside of the ½ vanilla bean.
  • In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Reduce your mixer speed to medium and combine the dry ingredients into the liquid. Only mix enough to fully combine the ingredients. Over mixing toughens the cookie up.
  • Using a spatula fold the chocolate chunks and shavings into the dough.
  • Scoop mounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Actual baking time depends on the size of the cookie; 2 inch cookies are about 8 minutes, very large 3-4 inch cookies are more like 10-11 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow them to cool for 1 minute on the sheets before removing to a wire rack.
  • Serve with milk and a smile.

BROWN BUTTER-OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Brown Butter-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These cookies have a more toothsome appeal thanks to the addition of browned butter, vanilla bean paste, and oats. The bonus: the dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for those moments when the craving hits. Just make sure to shape the cookies before refrigerating, and let come to room temperature before baking.

Time 35m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a stainless steel saucepan (this is important so you can tell when the butter has browned.) Whisk frequently for several minutes. When you start to smell the nutty aroma of the butter browning, and see small browned bits at the bottom of the pan, immediately remove pan from heat and carefully pour browned butter into a large mixing bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, oats, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl until well combined; set aside.
  • Add both sugars to the bowl with the browned butter and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla bean paste and beat for 1 more minute. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon spring-hinged scoop, scoop out dough and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 13 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks and allow to cool.

Tips:

  • Use High-Quality Chocolate Chips: Opt for semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips with a cacao content of at least 60% for a rich and intense chocolate flavor.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and avoid overworking the dough.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps to firm it up and prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a Cookie Scoop: A cookie scoop ensures that all the cookies are uniform in size and shape, resulting in even baking.
  • Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: Bake the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft.

Conclusion:

These vanilla bean chocolate chip cookies are a classic treat that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and vanilla with a chewy texture. By following these tips, you can create delicious and perfectly baked cookies that will satisfy your sweet cravings. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, mix the dough properly, chill it before baking, and bake the cookies at the right temperature for the best results. Enjoy these delightful cookies with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage for a comforting and satisfying snack.
