Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup salted butter (113 grams, room temperature (1 stick), Danish Creamery European Style)
8 ounces cream cheese (227 grams, room temperature (1 brick))
1½ cups granulated sugar (300 grams)
1 large egg (50 grams, room temperature)
1 teaspoon almond extract (4 grams)
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (270 grams)
½ cup powdered sugar (57 grams, divided)
1 tablespoon baking powder (12 grams)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar together until smooth.
  • With the mixer running, add in the egg and then the almond extract.
  • In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, and ¼ cup powdered sugar together.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry flour mixture to the already creamed mixture.
  • Once smooth, remove the bowl from the mixer and cover. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
  • Line a large sheet pan with nonstick parchment paper. Place the extra ¼ cup powdered sugar (for rolling) in a shallow bowl.
  • Once chilled, use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to create a cookie dough ball and immediately roll the cookie dough ball fully in powdered sugar.
  • Place powdered sugar covered cookie dough balls on the baking sheet, 6 at a time, and bake for 10-11 minutes. When they're no longer wet on top and are firm on the sides, they're done. We prefer them on the shorter cook time so they're extra gooey.
  • Allow to cool on the sheet pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

There are a few secrets to the best classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Number one: Don't use chips; instead, opt for a mix of milk or semisweet and dark chocolate chunks. The second is to let the dough rest overnight or longer for a more complex, toffee-like flavor. Lastly, use an ice cream scooper to get even-sized cookies every time. And that's it! With these little tweaks, the result is a cookie that's textured on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside. Absolutely perfect!

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
4 oz dark chocolate chunk, or your preference

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
  • Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
  • Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
  • Cool completely before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Time 2h13m

Yield 24-36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 (18 1/2 ounce) box white cake mix or 1 (18 1/2 ounce) box yellow cake mix
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Cream together cream cheese and butter.
  • Add egg and vanilla, then cake mix.

  • Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes or until cookies are slightly firm to touch.
  • Wait a minute or two before removing cookies to cooling racks.
  • Dust with confectioner's sugar.

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread evenly and create a more tender texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help the cookies rise and give them a chewy texture.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the cookies from becoming too dry.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time: This will help the cookies develop a crispy exterior and a gooey interior.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help prevent the cookies from breaking.
