CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chocolate Chip Cookies image

You may have memorized the foolproof gem on the back of the Toll House bag, given to the world by Ruth Graves Wakefield in the 1930s. But this may become your new favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's a little more complicated, and you'll have to plan ahead: After assembling the dough, you must chill it for at least 24 hours before baking it, and preferably up to 36. This allows the dry ingredients time to soak up the wet ones, which results in a firmer dough. It leads to a marvelously chewy, chocolate-rich cookie. Don't skimp on good chocolate, and the sea salt is not an option - it's the beacon at the top of this gorgeous treat. (You can certainly put this recipe together by hand, but a stand mixer makes it easy work. If you're in the market for one, our colleagues at The Sweethome have tested quite a few, and they've put together an excellent guide to the best.)

Time 45m

Yield 1 1/2 dozen 5-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups minus 2 tablespoons cake flour (8 1/2 ounces)
1 2/3 cups bread flour (8 1/2 ounces)
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter (2 1/2 sticks)
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar (10 ounces)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (8 ounces)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
1 1/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate disks or fèves, at least 60 percent cacao content (see note)
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
  • Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Drop chocolate pieces in and incorporate them without breaking them. Press plastic wrap against dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Dough may be used in batches, and can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
  • Scoop 6 3 1/2-ounce mounds of dough (the size of generous golf balls) onto baking sheet, making sure to turn horizontally any chocolate pieces that are poking up; it will make for a more attractive cookie. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake until golden brown but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack for 10 minutes, then slip cookies onto another rack to cool a bit more. Repeat with remaining dough, or reserve dough, refrigerated, for baking remaining batches the next day. Eat warm, with a big napkin.

STEPHANIE'S REALLY GOOD CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Stephanie's Really Good Chocolate Chip Cookies image

After much baking and eating to try and perfect a chocolate cookie, this recipe is as close as I think I can come. This is a combination of other recipe's I've seen on here and other websites. The secrets in my opinion are 1) The types of flour used (option but I think they make a difference but you can use all purpose flour if need be) 2) The pudding 3) The chilling and 4) The dark brown sugar instead of light. Please taste them and tell me what you think!! My family thinks they are very chewy and yummy!

1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar

2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375.

  • 4. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  • 5. Beat in eggs and vanilla; gradually add flour mixture.
  • 6. Stir in chocolate chips.

  • 9. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE-bake until they look like they may not quite be done. They will cook further on the cookie sheet once you take them out.
  • 10. Let sit on cookie sheet for 2 or 3 minutes, just long enough for them to be able to be transported to a wire cookie cooling sheet.
  • 11. Parchment paper can also be used and placed on top of the cookie sheet if you find that your cookies keep coming out too crispy.
