Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups dark-brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time; add vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture and beat until just combined. Add chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed throughout. Cookie dough can be refrigerated, covered, overnight, if desired.
  • Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden around the edges, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (but still cool to the touch-a finger pressed in should leave a dent but not sink in deeply)
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
5 ounces semisweet chocolate (61 to 66 percent), coarsely chopped (1 1/4 cups), plus more large, flat pieces or semisweet chocolate féves for tops (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter with both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on medium-high speed until light and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Stop beating and add flour, then beat on low to combine. Add both chocolates and beat to combine. (If you are working in a warm room and/or dough feels sticky or soft, refrigerate about 15 minutes before scooping and baking.)
  • Using a 2-ounce (1/4-cup) scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart (6 cookies per sheet); press each down to flatten slightly.
  • Top each cookie with a few large, flat pieces of chopped chocolate or whole féves (if desired). Bake one sheet of cookies 9 minutes; remove from oven and bang sheet on stove top or counter to deflate. Return to oven and bake 3 minutes; remove and bang again, then return to oven and bake until golden around edges and just barely set in centers, about 3 minutes more.
  • Transfer sheet to a wire rack and let cool 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a rack with a spatula; let cool completely. Repeat with remaining sheets, one at a time. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or frozen up to 2 months.

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar

  • Drop tablespoons of batter onto prepared baking sheets, two inches apart. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool on baking sheet, one minute, then transfer cookies to rack to cool slightly. Repeat until all batter has been used.

Tips for Perfect Martha Stewart Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, not margarine, and good-quality chocolate chips.
  • Make sure your butter is cold. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help the cookies brown and crisp on the outside while staying soft and chewy on the inside.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Conclusion:

Martha Stewart's chocolate chip cookies are a classic for a reason. They're simple to make, delicious, and always a hit with everyone. By following the tips above, you can make sure your Martha Stewart chocolate chip cookies turn out perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Preheat your oven and get baking!
