The best, Easy Soft Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies with simple steps and ONE added ingredient for a soft and chewy experience in LESS THAN 15 minutes!

Provided by Karina

Categories     Cookies

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (4 oz | 125 g) stick butter, melted (not spreadable)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar ((or a granulated sweetener that measures 1:1 with sugar))
2 tablespoons golden syrup ((or coconut syrup, agave, rice malt syrup, maple syrup or honey may be substituted))
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose or plain flour ((add more as needed -- only up to 1/4 cup extra)*)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 teaspoon salt
¾ cup chocolate chips (, divided)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Microwave the butter for about 30 seconds to just barely melt it (half soft and half melted).
  • Beat the butter with the brown and white sugar/s until creamy and pale in colour and sugar has dissolved. Pour in the syrup, vanilla and the egg, and lightly beat until just mixed through.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined. If needed, add in one tablespoon of the 'extra' flour at a time until the dough is still soft but easy to handle and firm enough to form one large ball (the dough should not be dry. I only needed 3 tablespoons of the extra flour).
  • Fold in half of the chocolate chips with your hands.
  • Scoop out 18-20 balls and arrange them on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie.
  • Bake for about 10-11 minutes. The cookies will look pale and puffed up, but should be golden around the edges. DO NOT OVER BAKE or your cookies will become hard once they have cooled.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes.

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

We skipped the white sugar and went all in with dark brown sugar, which gives our cookies the ideal chewiness and perfect level of sweetness. Paired with the right amount of semisweet chocolate chips, this treat is a definite winner. The recipe makes a lot of cookies, but in our opinion, this is never a problem!

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl.
  • Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (Use the paddle attachment for a stand mixer.) Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and beat until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to scoop half the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Chill the remaining dough while you bake the first batch.
  • Bake at 375 degrees until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cool the baking sheets completely, then line with parchment paper and repeat the scooping and baking process with the remaining dough.

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These super soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies are the most popular cookie recipe on my website for good reason. Melted butter, more brown sugar than white sugar, cornstarch, and an extra egg yolk guarantee the absolute chewiest chocolate chip cookie texture. The cookie dough is slick and requires chilling prior to shaping the cookies. Review recipe notes before beginning.

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h22m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 and 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch*
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks or 170g) unsalted butter, melted & cooled 5 minutes*
3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/4 cups (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg and egg yolk. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract. The mixture will be thin. Pour into dry ingredients and mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft, thick, and appear greasy. Fold in the chocolate chips. The chocolate chips may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter, but do your best to combine them.
  • Cover the dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or up to 3 days. I highly recommend chilling the cookie dough overnight for less spreading.
  • Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow it to slightly soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Using a cookie scoop or Tablespoon measuring spoon, measure 3 scant Tablespoons (about 2 ounces, or 60g) of dough for XL cookies or 2 heaping Tablespoons (about 1.75 ounces, or 50g) of dough for medium/large cookies. Roll into a ball, making sure the shape is taller rather than wide-almost like a cylinder. This helps the cookies bake up thicker. Repeat with remaining dough. Place 8-9 balls of dough onto each cookie sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. (XL cookies can take closer to 14 minutes.) The centers will look very soft, but the cookies will continue to set as they cool. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies. This is optional and only for looks. After 10 minutes of cooling on the baking sheets, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

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!

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

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!

THE BEST CHEWY CAFE STYLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



The Best Chewy Cafe Style Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I must confess I didn't quite follow the recipe because I creamed the butter and sugar like normal instead of melting it. I still got rave reviews for these cookies. Recipe courtesy of hostthetaste.com.

Provided by AmyZoe

Categories     Chocolate Chip Cookies

Time 57m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 ounces butter, melted and cooled (1 1/2 sticks)
1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed (dark brown sugar will also work if you want more molasses flavor)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the cooled melted butter and the sugars with a hand mixer for about one minute. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix briefly, just until there are no flour crumbs left. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 325, making sure you have the racks in the middle of the oven.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and preheat to 325 degrees, making sure you have the racks in the middle of the oven.
  • Scoop 1/4 cup of cookie dough at a time and roll into balls. Then, tear the balls in half by pulling gently on both sides.
  • Smash the two halves together, but this time have the lumpy, torn sides face upward. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the cookies have plenty of space to spread.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes, rotating halfway through, or until the cookies have spread out and the edges are golden, but the center of the cookie still looks soft and justly slightly undercooked.
  • Let cool on the baking sheets until the cookies are firm enough to remove.

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chewy chocolate chip cookies image

Enjoy these chewy chocolate chip cookies with a cup of tea. If you have time, leave the dough overnight for the best flavour and texture

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

150g butter , softened
150g soft brown sugar , golden caster sugar, or ideally half of each
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
180-200g plain flour (see tip below)
½ tsp baking powder
200g chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Steps:

  • Mix the butter and sugar together using an electric whisk or hand whisk until very light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Fold in the flour, baking powder, chocolate and ¼ tsp salt as quickly as you can. Don't overwork the dough as this will toughen the cookies.
  • For the best flavour, leave the mixture overnight: either cover the bowl and chill, or roll the mixture into balls and chill.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two baking sheets with parchment. Divide the mixture into balls, the craggier the balls, the rougher the cookies will look. If you want to give the dough more texture, tear the balls in half and squidge them lightly back together. Space out evenly on the baking sheets, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading.
  • Bake the fresh cookies for 8-10 mins and the chilled ones for 10-12 mins, or until browned and a little crisp at the edges but still very soft in the middle - they will harden a little as they cool. Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes before eating warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.

QUINTESSENTIAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Quintessential Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Sherry Yard's iconic chocolate-chip cookies are just the right mix of chewy and crisp, with a bittersweet morsel of chocolate in each bite. They are the cookies anyone who asks you to make chocolate chip cookies are asking for -- the kind of chocolate cookie that demands to be dunked into a glass of ice-cold milk.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield About 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

185 grams all-purpose flour (1 1/2 cups)
2 grams baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)
115 grams butter (4 ounces/1 stick)
100 grams sugar (1/2 cup)
80 grams light brown sugar (1/2 cup packed)
2 grams salt (1/4 teaspoon)
1 egg
5 grams vanilla (1 teaspoon)
225 grams bittersweet chocolate (8 ounces), cut in 1-inch pieces (or use coins)

Steps:

  • Sift together flour and baking soda and set aside. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until lemony yellow, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle. Add sugar, brown sugar and salt. Continue creaming mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and lump free, about 1 minute. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
  • Add egg and vanilla and beat on low speed for 15 seconds, or until they are fully incorporated. Do not over-beat. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
  • On low speed, add sifted flour mixture. Beat slowly until all of the flour is incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add chocolate chunks and mix in.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees with the rack positioned in the lower third of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Spoon heaping teaspoons of dough 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. If not baking right away, remove small handfuls or spoonfuls of dough from mixer and plop them down on the middle of a sheet of parchment or wax paper, creating a log about 1 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long. Fold parchment over, creating a sausage. Chill for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. Using a serrated knife, slice chilled dough into 1/3-inch-thick rounds and place them 2 inches apart, in staggered rows, on parchment-lined sheets and proceed. (Dough will keep nicely, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing.)
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned, rotating the baking sheet front to back halfway through. Remove from heat and slide parchment off baking sheet and onto a work surface. Allow cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving, or for at least 20 minutes before storing in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.

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 make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and spread less.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before eating them. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These chewy café-style chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips. Plus, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
