Best 4 Chocolate Chip Cookies Straight Up Or With Nuts Recipes

ANYTIME CHOCOLATE CHIP AND OAT COOKIES

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toast nuts on a rimmed baking sheet until slightly darkened in color and fragrant, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
• Meanwhile, spread out seeds and coconut on same baking sheet and toast until seeds are slightly darkened in color and coconut is golden, about 5 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.
• Whisk all-purpose flour, whole grain flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl to combine. Vigorously whisk brown sugar and butter in a large bowl until very thick and smooth, about 30 seconds. Add eggs and vanilla; whisk vigorously until mixture is light and satiny, about 30 seconds. Add dry ingredients and whisk until completely incorporated and batter is smooth. Fold in nuts, seeds, coconut, chocolate, and oats with a rubber spatula until thoroughly distributed.
• Using a 2-oz. scoop or ¼ cup measuring cup, portion out dough, placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet as you go and spacing as close together as possible (it's okay if they touch slightly). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze until frozen solid, 2-3 hours. (If you can't wait for cookies to freeze, chill in refrigerator just until firm instead, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Cookies might bake a minute or two faster.)
• If needed, reheat oven to 350°F. Arrange up to 8 cookies on a large parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing at least 2" apart. (These cookies are large and will spread, so use another baking sheet if baking more than 8 cookies and place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven.) Bake, rotating baking sheet front to back (and top to bottom if using 2) halfway through, until deep golden brown and wrinkled around the edges (centers should still be pale and slightly shiny), 16-20 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.
• Do Ahead: Dough can be made 2 months ahead; transfer frozen balls to an airtight container and keep frozen. Cookies can be baked 3 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature.

OATMEAL-MILK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH WALNUTS

Steps:

• Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with an electric mixer, on medium-high speed, in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine.
• Whisk the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low until just combined. Stir in the milk chocolate chips and walnuts.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Scoop slightly mounded tablespoons of the dough and roll into balls. Arrange about 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until the cookies are set and golden on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Put the butter and both sugars in a stand mixer or mixing bowl. Cream together using a paddle attachment on medium speed, a handheld electric whisk or a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes until paler but not fluffy. (Do not mix for too long; if you beat the mixture until super light and fluffy, that will cause the cookie to deflate later when cooking.)
• Add the egg and beat over medium speed until evenly combined.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (all the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt), then fold into the butter mixture using a rubber spatula until combined.
• Add the chopped chocolate and fold into the dough until evenly distributed.
• Immediately scoop out heaping 1/4-cup portions (about 60 grams), roll into balls and place on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 12 hours. (If space is tight, you can condense them on one sheet before refrigerating then redistribute among two sheets before baking.)
• The next day, heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Make sure the dough balls are evenly spaced out among two baking sheets, as they will spread. Bake the cookies for 13 minutes (or 15 minutes if baking from frozen), until the cookies are puffed and golden at the edges. You want the middle to be ever so slightly not-quite set.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet; they will continue firming up as they cool. Once cooled, eat! (These cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The balls of dough will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge or 2 weeks in the freezer.)

BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
• Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
