Best 3 Nutty Or Nice Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

NUTTY OR NICE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350° and place racks on middle and lower third tracks.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour with baking soda and salt. If you are using self-rising flour you can skip this step, you wont need the salt or soda.
• In a large mixing bowl beat the butter at medium speed until creamy with a handheld electric mixer. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Lower speed and beat in the dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
• Place heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough at least 1 1/2" apart on 2 baking sheets and bake for about 11 minutes for soft and chewy cookies, about 13 minutes for chewy cookies or about 16 minutes for crisp cookies.
• Leave cookies to cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before moving them to wire racks.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES STRAIGHT UP OR WITH NUTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, cream together the butter and brown and granulated sugars until smooth but not over mixed. (I do this by hand, but if you use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes, and then scrape down the sides of the bowl before continuing.) Add the egg, vanilla and salt and stir just until combined.
• Sift in the flour, baking soda and baking powder and stir gently just until combined. Add the chocolate and nuts if using and stir just until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Position the racks in the upper third and lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Scoop up 1-inch balls of the dough with a spoon or mini scoop and set them 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Bake the cookies, rotating the pans after 7 to 9 minutes, for 13 to 17 minutes until the cookies are golden brown. If you like a very soft cookie, bake them for 13 minutes. If you like a crisp cookie, bake them for 17 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool. I think these cookies are best the day they are baked, but they will keep in an airtight cookie jar for up to 4 days-if they last that long.

ALL GROWN-UP CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F Line cookie sheets (not air cushion style) with parchment.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and golden syrup. Beat in the egg, vanilla, malted milk powder and espresso powder. Add the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda; stir until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons (I use a #40 ice cream scoop) 3 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, until golden brown at the edges; the center will appear slightly undercooked. Transfer entire sheet of baked cookies to a wire cooling rack. Cool for at least 10 minutes before removing the cookies from the parchment.
