Categories     Dessert

Time 26m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled at least 10 minutes (226g))
1 ¼ cup brown sugar tightly packed ((250g))
½ cup sugar ((100g))
1 large egg + 1 yolks ((room temperature preferred)*)
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour ((350g))
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips ((plus additional for tops, optional) (300g + additional))

Steps:

  • Combine melted butter and sugars in a large bowl. Stir very well.
  • Add egg and egg yolk, stir well. Stir in vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients -- stir well so that all the flour is absorbed. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Place dough in refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper.
  • Scoop dough by rounded 1 ½ tablespoon onto prepared cookie sheets, placing at least 2" apart.
  • Bake for 11 minutes -- cookies may still seem slightly soft in the centers, that is OK, they will cook completely on the cookie sheets. Don't over-bake or your cookies will be too hard.
  • If desired, gently press additional chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies.
  • Allow to cool completely on cookie sheets.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: bread flour, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, baking soda, unsalted butter, water, dark brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, espresso powder, large egg, large egg yolk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate

Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Desserts

Time 56m

Yield 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup bread flour
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or 1½ teaspoons table salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks
2 tablespoons water, room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
5 oz dark chocolate, chopped

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!

QUINTESSENTIAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Quintessential Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Sherry Yard's iconic chocolate-chip cookies are just the right mix of chewy and crisp, with a bittersweet morsel of chocolate in each bite. They are the cookies anyone who asks you to make chocolate chip cookies are asking for -- the kind of chocolate cookie that demands to be dunked into a glass of ice-cold milk.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield About 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

185 grams all-purpose flour (1 1/2 cups)
2 grams baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)
115 grams butter (4 ounces/1 stick)
100 grams sugar (1/2 cup)
80 grams light brown sugar (1/2 cup packed)
2 grams salt (1/4 teaspoon)
1 egg
5 grams vanilla (1 teaspoon)
225 grams bittersweet chocolate (8 ounces), cut in 1-inch pieces (or use coins)

Steps:

  • Sift together flour and baking soda and set aside. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until lemony yellow, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle. Add sugar, brown sugar and salt. Continue creaming mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and lump free, about 1 minute. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
  • Add egg and vanilla and beat on low speed for 15 seconds, or until they are fully incorporated. Do not over-beat. Scrape down sides of bowl and paddle.
  • On low speed, add sifted flour mixture. Beat slowly until all of the flour is incorporated. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add chocolate chunks and mix in.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees with the rack positioned in the lower third of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Spoon heaping teaspoons of dough 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. If not baking right away, remove small handfuls or spoonfuls of dough from mixer and plop them down on the middle of a sheet of parchment or wax paper, creating a log about 1 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long. Fold parchment over, creating a sausage. Chill for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. Using a serrated knife, slice chilled dough into 1/3-inch-thick rounds and place them 2 inches apart, in staggered rows, on parchment-lined sheets and proceed. (Dough will keep nicely, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing.)
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned, rotating the baking sheet front to back halfway through. Remove from heat and slide parchment off baking sheet and onto a work surface. Allow cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving, or for at least 20 minutes before storing in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.

PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies image

What makes these cookies truly "perfect" isn't anything radical; it's simply an attention to detail. The pastry chef Ravneet Gill was meticulous in developing her recipe, and all of her instructions exist for a reason. When she tells you to chill your dough overnight, don't think you can skip over that. (If you do, your cookies will spread.) When she instructs you to roll the dough into balls before transferring them to the fridge to rest, do as she says, and you'll get a nice plump, domed cookie instead of a sad flat one. Don't go swapping in milk chocolate for dark, and chop the chocolate into large chunks for those dramatic, dense puddles of goo. One allowance: If you don't have Maldon salt, another flaky salt or even kosher salt will do.

Time 12h30m

Yield 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons/140 grams unsalted butter (1 1/4 sticks), softened
Scant 3/4 cup/140 grams dark brown sugar
2/3 cup/110 grams superfine sugar
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons/250 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon Maldon sea salt (or kosher salt)
6 ounces/170 grams dark (bittersweet) chocolate, chopped into large chunks

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.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips: Opt for semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips for a rich, decadent flavor. You can also use a combination of milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips for a more complex taste.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in tough, dry cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, and be careful not to overwork the dough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies spread less and hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature (375°F) will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges and the centers are still slightly soft.

Conclusion:

These practically perfect chocolate chip cookies are a classic for a reason. They're simple to make, yet always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your chocolate chip cookies turn out perfectly every time.
