THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
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!

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.

Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- * Note: Rather than cracking a number of eggs, you can buy cartons of liquid egg whites at supermarkets. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together the egg whites, cocoa, salt and sugar on medium speed until the batter is stiff and all ingredients are well incorporated, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the walnuts or pecans by hand. Place the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheet; work in batches. Bake until the cookies are a bit shiny and slightly cracked, 10 minutes. They will look underdone but do not overbake. This recipe yields 48 cookies. Each cookie: 125 calories; 34 mg sodium; 0 cholesterol; 7 grams fat; 1 gram saturated fat; 17 grams carbohydrates; 3 grams protein; 1.67 grams fiber.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add eggs and vanilla, mix well.
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture then add chocolate chips.
- Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets.
- Bake 10-12 minutes; let cookies rest on baking sheets for 2 minutes before removing with a spatula to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips:
- Use a quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. This will make a big difference in the final product.
- Make sure your butter and sugar are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape better.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before you enjoy them. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cookies to firm up.
