Best 3 Chocolate Chip Crumble Recipes

CRUMBL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• In a medium bowl whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed (with paddle attachment) for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add the egg and vanilla, beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until JUST combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Using a ½ cup measuring cup, portion the dough into equal 1/2 cup size balls (I like to use a kitchen scale to get the balls equally portioned. Each dough ball should weigh 5-5.5 oz each). See note #2. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie, I do 2 per tray.
• Bake for 9-12 minutes. The tops will be lightly golden and the tops set. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to sit on the tray for 10 minutes (the cookies will continue to bake/set while on the sheet). Transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before eating. The cookies need time to set. (Refer to the notes section for more tips).
• Store cookies in an airtight container. See note #3

CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP CRUMB CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment.
• For the crumb topping: Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Stir in the all-purpose flour just until the mixture is crumbly (some dryer bits may remain--that's OK). Toss the mini chocolate chips with the crumb topping and set aside.
• For the cake: Combine the eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup and whisk to break up the eggs. Set aside.
• Combine the cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and whisk by hand or mix on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds.
• With the mixer running on low speed, add the cubed butter and mix until all of the butter is incorporated into the dry ingredients and the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. With the mixer still running on low speed, add the egg mixture and mix until moistened. Stop and scrape the bowl and paddle, then mix on medium-high speed for 30 seconds.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the mini chocolate chips over the top. Scatter the crumb topping mixture evenly over the cake batter, then scatter the remaining 1 tablespoon of the chips over top.
• Place the baking pan on a rimmed baking sheet to prevent over-browning. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs, 43 to 46 minutes. An easy way to test crumb cake is to nudge some of the crumbs away with the toothpick then insert the toothpick into the cake below. Let cool in the pan until barely warm before slicing.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CRUMB CAKE

Steps:

• For the crumbs: Put the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl and mix by hand. Pour in the butter and squeeze the crumbs tightly together, forming large or jumbo crumbs. Put the bowl in the refrigerator until the mixture is cold, 1 hour or overnight. (The crumbs can also be frozen for several weeks if wrapped airtight; defrost them for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature before assembling the cake.)
• For the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt together into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. On low speed, mix in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix in the almond paste. Add the eggs and yolks one at a time. Mix in the vanilla bean paste. Add the buttermilk, then cream the batter on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
• Scrape the batter into the buttered baking dish. Smooth the top, tap the dish on the countertop and top evenly with the crumbs. Bake 20 minutes, then rotate the cake and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes longer. (After the first 20 minutes, I cover the pan with foil to keep the crumbs from getting too dark.)
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and set it on a cooling rack for 20 minutes. Eating this cake warm from the oven is one of the best memories I have. The smell of cinnamon and sugar drives me crazy. Eat it for breakfast, warmed up for a snack, or serve it with warm caramel sauce and ice cream for dessert.
• The cake will keep for 2 to 3 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
