Categories     Dessert

Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled at least 10 minutes (226g))
1 ¼ cup brown sugar tightly packed ((250g))
½ cup sugar ((100g))
1 large egg + 1 yolks ((room temperature preferred)*)
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour ((350g))
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips ((plus additional for tops, optional) (300g + additional))

Steps:

  • Combine melted butter and sugars in a large bowl. Stir very well.
  • Add egg and egg yolk, stir well. Stir in vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients -- stir well so that all the flour is absorbed. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Place dough in refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper.
  • Scoop dough by rounded 1 ½ tablespoon onto prepared cookie sheets, placing at least 2" apart.
  • Bake for 11 minutes -- cookies may still seem slightly soft in the centers, that is OK, they will cook completely on the cookie sheets. Don't over-bake or your cookies will be too hard.
  • If desired, gently press additional chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies.
  • Allow to cool completely on cookie sheets.

SECRET INGREDIENT (MISO!) CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Secret Ingredient (Miso!) Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 24 to 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
1/3 cup white miso paste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (sometimes I use chunks)
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet

Steps:

  • Beat both sugars and butter together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg, miso and vanilla and beat until well mixed. Add flour and baking soda and mix until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour (this is very important in order to have a chewy cookie that doesn't spread out too much).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Use a medium ice cream scoop to portion cookie dough on the prepared pans. Use two fingers to lightly flatten each scoop of dough. Bake, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, 13 to 14 minutes for a chewy cookie (a few minutes longer if you like a more well-done cookie). Eat warm with a glass of milk and cool the rest on a wire rack.

5 (OR 6) INGREDIENT PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



5 (or 6) Ingredient Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies image

The original recipe (5 Ingredient Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies) I pinched from Baker Bettie's website. The cookies can be made with white, or brown sugar, butter, margarine or lard, any kind of flour and any kind of chocolate chip you have on hand. They are: chewy, cakey, crispy! Delicious!

Provided by Kathy W

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick butter (margarine, shortening, salted, unsalted)
1 c sugar (white sugar gives you crispier cookies, brown sugar gives you chewier ones)
1 large egg
1 1/8 c flour (all purpose, self-rising, or bread flour)
1 c chocolate chips (any kind)
1 c chopped nuts, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°
  • 2. Mix butter and sugar together until thoroughly combined.
  • 3. Add the egg and mix until incorporated.
  • 4. Stir in flour, the chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
  • 5. Scoop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment (or use a silpat) by the tablespoonsful, place about 2 inches apart - they will spread out some.
  • 6. Bake at 350° until just lightly browned on the edges (the middle may look a bit undercooked) 7-9 minutes (it may take longer depending on the size of the cookies - if you used a level or heaping tablespoonful - and your oven...it took about 18 minutes in my oven.)
  • 7. Allow to cool on the baking sheet 2 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chocolate Chip Cookies image

This is such an easy chocolate chip cookie. No special equipment, no creaming -- a perfect cookie to do with kids. We love how versatile this dough is, too. It makes an awesome rocky road bar cookie.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips, or chunks
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt

Steps:

  • Evenly position 2 racks in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. (on convection setting if you have it.) Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone sheets. (If you only have 1 baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.)
  • Put the butter in a microwave safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted. (Alternatively melt in a small saucepan.) Cool slightly. Whisk the sugars, eggs, butter and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon; take care not to over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared pans. Wet hands slightly and roll the dough into balls. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart on the pans. Bake, until golden, but still soft in the center, 12 to 16 minutes, depending on how chewy or crunchy you like your cookies. Transfer hot cookies with a spatula to a rack to cool. Serve.
  • Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days.
  • For a Rocky Road Bar:
  • Lightly butter a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Make the batter as per cookie recipe and fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts along with the chocolate chips. Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake until the edges are light brown and the batter sets, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly and cover surface with 4 cups marshmallows and 1 cup chocolate chips. Broil at least 8 inches from the heat until marshmallows turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. (Keep an eye on the marshmallows, and turn the pan frequently--they go from golden to char in a wink.) Cool, cut and serve.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chocolate Chip Cookies image

You may have memorized the foolproof gem on the back of the Toll House bag, given to the world by Ruth Graves Wakefield in the 1930s. But this may become your new favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's a little more complicated, and you'll have to plan ahead: After assembling the dough, you must chill it for at least 24 hours before baking it, and preferably up to 36. This allows the dry ingredients time to soak up the wet ones, which results in a firmer dough. It leads to a marvelously chewy, chocolate-rich cookie. Don't skimp on good chocolate, and the sea salt is not an option - it's the beacon at the top of this gorgeous treat. (You can certainly put this recipe together by hand, but a stand mixer makes it easy work. If you're in the market for one, our colleagues at The Sweethome have tested quite a few, and they've put together an excellent guide to the best.)

Time 45m

Yield 1 1/2 dozen 5-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups minus 2 tablespoons cake flour (8 1/2 ounces)
1 2/3 cups bread flour (8 1/2 ounces)
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter (2 1/2 sticks)
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar (10 ounces)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (8 ounces)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
1 1/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate disks or fèves, at least 60 percent cacao content (see note)
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
  • Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Drop chocolate pieces in and incorporate them without breaking them. Press plastic wrap against dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Dough may be used in batches, and can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
  • Scoop 6 3 1/2-ounce mounds of dough (the size of generous golf balls) onto baking sheet, making sure to turn horizontally any chocolate pieces that are poking up; it will make for a more attractive cookie. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake until golden brown but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack for 10 minutes, then slip cookies onto another rack to cool a bit more. Repeat with remaining dough, or reserve dough, refrigerated, for baking remaining batches the next day. Eat warm, with a big napkin.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to spread less and keep their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These 5- or 6-ingredient chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, with nuts or without, these cookies are sure to please everyone.
