Add to egg mixture, and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Instead of just dropping them onto the cookie sheet, I roll the cookies into balls - it makes them all look very uniform and nice!

BEST-EVER THICK AND CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
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...

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.
SMART COOKIE - THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES EVER!

Steps:
- Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl. Whisk together oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in large bowl.
- Whisk in egg whites and vanilla until smooth. Stir in dry ingredients until blended. Fold in oats and then chocolate.
- Cover and chill dough at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Shape dough into 16 balls (1/4 scant cup each) with hands, using a little pressure.
- Place 8 balls on each prepared sheet. With fingers, press each into a patty about 3" in diameter, allowing about 2" between patties for slight spreading.
- Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until desired brownness (do not overbake), switching position of sheets halfway through.
- Let cool a few minutes before moving to rack to cool completely.
- My own note: the dough on this is not like your typical cookie dough. You will think something is wrong with it because it will crumble and fall apart and kind of look greasy. But just squeeze them together into palm size balls and you will get lovely big puffy cookies! Make sure there is plenty of space for them to expand!

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes) on medium speed. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla.
- At a low speed, beat in the dry ingredients in batches, until just blended, do not over beat or the dough will get tough. Stir in the chocolate chunks and chopped chocolate using a wooden spoon until well combined. Wrap the bowl with plastic and chill dough 30 minutes or overnight.
- Shape or scoop into 2-inch balls using a spoon or ice cream scoop. Place on cookie sheets, about 3 inches apart. (About 6 cookies per tray with 2 trays per batch.) Flatten them slightly and bake until golden brown around the edges, about 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on tray about 3 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely.
FELIX K.'S 'DON'T EVEN TRY TO SAY THESE AREN'T THE BEST YOU'VE EVER EATEN, BECAUSE THEY ARE' CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
After years of tweaking my chocolate chip recipe, it is now ready for public consumption. It has been laboratory-tested on many of my friends all of whom seem to think its pretty great, as do I. They certainly aren't healthy, but its well worth the requisite post-cookie eating cardio workout. I hope it works for you as well as it has for me! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Gently mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with a fork in a bowl. Beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
- Divide the dough into 24 3-tablespoon-sized balls. Flatten the balls to about 1/4-inch thick onto a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet until the centers begin to set, about 20 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough, dry cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give you crispy edges and a chewy center.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to develop fully.
Conclusion:
These chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and always a hit with friends and family. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
