Best 8 Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a medium or large saucepan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. The larger the pan you use, the quicker the process will be!
• Bring the butter to a boil, stirring frequently. As the water begins to boil out of the butter, the milk solids in the butter will separate, sink to the bottom, and begin to toast and brown. As this begins to happen, make sure to stir constantly so the butter browns evenly. It may become quite foamy, splatter a bit, and be difficult to see, so keep a close eye on it, removing from heat and continuing to stir if it starts to foam over.
• Once the butter has turned a nice nutty brown, remove from the heat and pour into a large liquid measuring cup to stop the cooking. Allow it to cool down for a minute or two, give it a stir, and carefully add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the butter to bring it back up to 1 cup (240 ml) of liquid.
• Set aside to cool to room temperature. To help speed this process up, you can place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. You want to make sure the butter is still liquid when you're adding it to the dough later on, so make sure to remove after 15 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the sugars, vanilla, espresso powder, and cooled brown butter. Cream together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the egg and yolk and beat until incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients, about ⅓ of the mixture at a time, and beat between additions until just incorporated. It's okay for there to be a bit of unmixed flour on the edge of bowl, this will be incorporated in the next step.
• Using a wooden spoon, fold the chocolate chips and chunks into the dough
• Scoop the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 3-tablespoon-sized mounds.
• For optimal flavor, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or, even better, overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Evenly space the dough 3 inches (8 cm) apart from one another on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 12-14 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Enjoy!

PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Put the butter and both sugars in a stand mixer or mixing bowl. Cream together using a paddle attachment on medium speed, a handheld electric whisk or a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes until paler but not fluffy. (Do not mix for too long; if you beat the mixture until super light and fluffy, that will cause the cookie to deflate later when cooking.)
• Add the egg and beat over medium speed until evenly combined.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (all the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt), then fold into the butter mixture using a rubber spatula until combined.
• Add the chopped chocolate and fold into the dough until evenly distributed.
• Immediately scoop out heaping 1/4-cup portions (about 60 grams), roll into balls and place on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 12 hours. (If space is tight, you can condense them on one sheet before refrigerating then redistribute among two sheets before baking.)
• The next day, heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Make sure the dough balls are evenly spaced out among two baking sheets, as they will spread. Bake the cookies for 13 minutes (or 15 minutes if baking from frozen), until the cookies are puffed and golden at the edges. You want the middle to be ever so slightly not-quite set.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet; they will continue firming up as they cool. Once cooled, eat! (These cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The balls of dough will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge or 2 weeks in the freezer.)

PERFECT FLUFFY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt butter with brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in white sugar, baking soda, and salt. Let mixture cool for 15 minutes.
• Transfer butter mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add beaten eggs and vanilla extract; mix well. Fold in flour gently, 1 cup at a time, using a wooden spoon. Fold chocolate chips into the thick batter with the spoon.
• Refrigerate cookie dough for 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on ungreased, nonstick baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to turn golden, 8 to 9 minutes. Let cool.

• 6. Bake at 350° until just lightly browned on the edges (the middle may look a bit undercooked) 7-9 minutes (it may take longer depending on the size of the cookies - if you used a level or heaping tablespoonful - and your oven...it took about 18 minutes in my oven.)
• 7. Allow to cool on the baking sheet 2 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
