GOOEY MARSHMALLOW-FILLED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Gooey Marshmallow-Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies image

A perfectly designed chocolate chip cookie to me means a gooey center and lightly crisp edges. This cookie takes the "gooey center" part literally by having a vegan marshmallow tucked inside the center of each one. Since vegan marshmallows aren't made with gelatin, they stay fluffy throughout baking.

Time 45m

Yield 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 12 ounces)
18 vegan marshmallows

Steps:

  • Position the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment. (If you only have one baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.)
  • Place the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively melt in a small saucepan.) Cool slightly.
  • Whisk the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon, taking care not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or measuring spoon to scoop out portions of dough (each about 3 tablespoons or 2.2 ounces). Flatten each portion in the palm of your hand until it's about 1/4-inch thick. Place 1 marshmallow in the center of the flattened dough and form the dough around the marshmallow until it is completely covered. Roll into a uniform ball and place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the edges and top are just turning golden, but the center is still soft, 17 to 18 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

CHOCOLATE GOOEY BUTTER COOKIES - PAULA DEEN



Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies - Paula Deen image

This recipe was on Paula's Food TV show. They are to die for! I made these because my partner will not eat anything with cream cheese in it. I thought I would actually have cookies to eat the next day. I was so wrong. I made a double batch and only had 3 cookies in all. I did not find these to be Gooey. More delicate and cake like. Be sure not to over bake. *Prep time includes 2 hour chilling time. *NOTE - On her show she did add oil...I don't know the amt. I added no oil the 4 times I have made these and I don't feel its needed...My hips agree :) UPDATE: I have also used FF Cream Cheese with good results. Any flavor cake mix works well! Please also note that the directions do state that dough will be very stiff. I use my stand mixer with no problems. Please use caution if using a hand mixer.

GOOEY CHOCOLATE CRACKLE COOKIES



Gooey Chocolate Crackle Cookies image

This is the absolute favorite cookie in my house. I've been using this exact recipe for the past 6-8 years which originally came from a high school cafeteria cookbook. It was tough trying to get this recipe, then after I got it, it was for 350 servings ! It's now scaled down to 4 dozen, but they don't last long...maybe 350 cookies IS the way to go ! ETA: Reviewers have added an extra cup of flour to the mix with success. I still make them as originally posted.

THICK-AND-GOOEY CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES



Thick-and-Gooey Chocolate-Chip Cookies image

These hefty and extremely satisfying treats should be devoured with a cool glass of milk on hand. In the search for the perfect iteration of chocolate-chip cookies, three subsets of cookie rose to the top (check out the crisp and chewy versions to compare). Each recipe was tested more than a half-dozen times, so please grant us some generosity. Note that this version uses baking powder and the balls of dough are considerably larger.

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield Makes 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and sugars until fluffy, 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Add the flour mixture all at once and blend until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate and walnuts. Chill the dough for at least an hour.
  • Roll 1/4 -cup lumps of dough into balls, then place on the baking sheet and flatten to 1/2 -inch-thick disks spaced 2 inches apart. Chill the dough between batches. Bake until the edges turn golden, 14 to 17 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a baking rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cookies. Choose a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own, and make sure it has a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a chewy texture.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These gooey chocolate cookies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They're rich, chewy, and full of chocolate flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make these cookies at home. So next time you're craving something sweet, give this recipe a try!
