SOFT AND CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Chocolate chip cookies are a go-to favorite dessert, sweet snack, or after-school treat. This cookie-which is made in the soft and chewy style-gives you both the nostalgia of childhood bake sales and the satisfying, grown-up flavors of dark chocolate. After just three steps and a quick bake in the oven, the only thing you'll need is a glass of cold milk or frothy coffee.

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These super soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies are the most popular cookie recipe on my website for good reason. Melted butter, more brown sugar than white sugar, cornstarch, and an extra egg yolk guarantee the absolute chewiest chocolate chip cookie texture. The cookie dough is slick and requires chilling prior to shaping the cookies. Review recipe notes before beginning.

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h22m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 and 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch*
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks or 170g) unsalted butter, melted & cooled 5 minutes*
3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/4 cups (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg and egg yolk. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract. The mixture will be thin. Pour into dry ingredients and mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft, thick, and appear greasy. Fold in the chocolate chips. The chocolate chips may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter, but do your best to combine them.
  • Cover the dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or up to 3 days. I highly recommend chilling the cookie dough overnight for less spreading.
  • Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow it to slightly soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Using a cookie scoop or Tablespoon measuring spoon, measure 3 scant Tablespoons (about 2 ounces, or 60g) of dough for XL cookies or 2 heaping Tablespoons (about 1.75 ounces, or 50g) of dough for medium/large cookies. Roll into a ball, making sure the shape is taller rather than wide-almost like a cylinder. This helps the cookies bake up thicker. Repeat with remaining dough. Place 8-9 balls of dough onto each cookie sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. (XL cookies can take closer to 14 minutes.) The centers will look very soft, but the cookies will continue to set as they cool. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies. This is optional and only for looks. After 10 minutes of cooling on the baking sheets, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

We skipped the white sugar and went all in with dark brown sugar, which gives our cookies the ideal chewiness and perfect level of sweetness. Paired with the right amount of semisweet chocolate chips, this treat is a definite winner. The recipe makes a lot of cookies, but in our opinion, this is never a problem!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
One 12-ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl.
  • Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (Use the paddle attachment for a stand mixer.) Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and beat until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to scoop half the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Chill the remaining dough while you bake the first batch.
  • Bake at 375 degrees until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cool the baking sheets completely, then line with parchment paper and repeat the scooping and baking process with the remaining dough.

Cookie people take sides. You're either a soft-and-chewy fan or a lover of thin and crisp. But everyone goes for these chocolate chip treats. They're soft in the middle, slightly crunchy at the edges, and extra-big.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (but still cool to the touch-a finger pressed in should leave a dent but not sink in deeply)
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
5 ounces semisweet chocolate (61 to 66 percent), coarsely chopped (1 1/4 cups), plus more large, flat pieces or semisweet chocolate féves for tops (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter with both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on medium-high speed until light and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Stop beating and add flour, then beat on low to combine. Add both chocolates and beat to combine. (If you are working in a warm room and/or dough feels sticky or soft, refrigerate about 15 minutes before scooping and baking.)
  • Using a 2-ounce (1/4-cup) scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart (6 cookies per sheet); press each down to flatten slightly.
  • Top each cookie with a few large, flat pieces of chopped chocolate or whole féves (if desired). Bake one sheet of cookies 9 minutes; remove from oven and bang sheet on stove top or counter to deflate. Return to oven and bake 3 minutes; remove and bang again, then return to oven and bake until golden around edges and just barely set in centers, about 3 minutes more.
  • Transfer sheet to a wire rack and let cool 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a rack with a spatula; let cool completely. Repeat with remaining sheets, one at a time. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or frozen up to 2 months.

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!

Provided by Alvin Zhou

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!

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chewy chocolate chip cookies image

Enjoy these chewy chocolate chip cookies with a cup of tea. If you have time, leave the dough overnight for the best flavour and texture

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

150g butter , softened
150g soft brown sugar , golden caster sugar, or ideally half of each
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
180-200g plain flour (see tip below)
½ tsp baking powder
200g chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Steps:

  • Mix the butter and sugar together using an electric whisk or hand whisk until very light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Fold in the flour, baking powder, chocolate and ¼ tsp salt as quickly as you can. Don't overwork the dough as this will toughen the cookies.
  • For the best flavour, leave the mixture overnight: either cover the bowl and chill, or roll the mixture into balls and chill.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two baking sheets with parchment. Divide the mixture into balls, the craggier the balls, the rougher the cookies will look. If you want to give the dough more texture, tear the balls in half and squidge them lightly back together. Space out evenly on the baking sheets, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading.
  • Bake the fresh cookies for 8-10 mins and the chilled ones for 10-12 mins, or until browned and a little crisp at the edges but still very soft in the middle - they will harden a little as they cool. Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes before eating warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.

All Grown Up Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes: An Overview

When it comes to comfort food, there are few things that can match the taste and aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. However, many of us have outgrown the traditional milk-and-cookies combo and are looking for something a bit more sophisticated. This is where All Grown Up Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies come in. These cookies are the epitome of sophistication and elegance, elevating the humble chocolate chip cookie to a whole new level. Their key characteristics include a soft, chewy texture, a rich, nutty flavor, and a generous scattering of premium-quality chocolate chunks. The following is an overview of what makes these cookies so special, along with some tips for how to make them at home.
The Secret to Perfectly Chewy Cookies
The first rule of making All Grown Up Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies is to aim for a soft, chewy texture. This means avoiding the dry, crumbly texture that is often associated with cookies. There are several things you can do to achieve this texture. First, use a combination of butter and oil in the dough. Butter provides flavor and structure, while oil helps keep the cookies moist and chewy. You can use any type of oil, but coconut oil, olive oil, or vegetable oil work particularly well. Second, don't overmix the dough. This can lead to tough, dense cookies. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined. Third, use a mix of brown sugar and granulated sugar in the dough. Brown sugar adds moisture and flavor to the cookies, while granulated sugar provides structure and sweetness.
The Role of Chocolate in All Grown Up Cookies
The chocolate used in All Grown Up Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies is another key characteristic of these cookies. Premium-quality, dark chocolate is the preferred type, as its rich, complex flavor pairs well with the nutty, buttery taste of the cookies. When selecting chocolate for your cookies, look for at least 60% cacao. This will give you a good balance of sweetness and bitterness. You can use chocolate chips or roughly chop a chocolate bar to make large chocolate chunks to add into the dough.
Optional Additions to Make Your Cookies More "Grown-Up"
While the basic All Grown Up Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is delicious in itself, you can add additional ingredients to make your cookies even more sophisticated. Here are some ideas: - Nuts: Chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds can add a crunchy texture to your cookies, as well as a complex, nutty flavor. - Spices: Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom can add warmth and depth to your cookies. - Sea Salt: A sprinkle of sea salt on top of your cookies can enhance the chocolate's sweetness and elevate the overall flavor profile. - Espresso Powder: A small amount of espresso powder can intensify the chocolate's richness and give your cookies a subtle coffee flavor.
How to Bake All Grown Up Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies at Home
To bake All Grown Up Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies at home, follow these steps: 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. 3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/4 cup of oil, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until creamy. 4. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined. 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. 6. Fold in 1 cup of premium-quality, roughly-chopped dark chocolate (or chocolate chips). 7. Optional: Add any additional ingredients, such as chopped nuts or spices, at this point. 8. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form your dough into 12-15 balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 9. Optional: Sprinkle sea salt on top of each cookie. 10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. 11. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion

With a soft, chewy texture, rich, nutty flavor, and high-quality chocolate chunks, these cookies are a delight for all senses. By following the tips and recipe outlined in this article, you can easily make these cookies at home and impress your friends and family with your baking skills.

Chocolate chip cookies are always a favorite treat of many people, and they are loved by both kids and adults alike. They are easy to make, and with the right recipe and techniques, they can be turned into a satisfying and delicious dessert that everyone can enjoy. However, when making the all grown up chewy chocolate chip cookies, there are a few tips that can come in handy to ensure that you get the best results.

Tips for Making All Grown Up Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Use Quality Ingredients

The quality of the ingredients you use in making the cookies matters a lot. When it comes to the flour, sugar, butter, and chocolate chips, always choose high-quality products. This may mean spending a little more, but the end result will be worth it. For example, opt for good quality chocolate chips instead of using the cheapest ones you can find in the grocery store.

2. Measure Ingredients Accurately

Measuring ingredients accurately is essential in baking. This helps to ensure that the cookies will turn out the right way, and you will not be disappointed with the results. Use a measuring scale or cups and spoons to measure your ingredients accurately. Be sure to level off the flours and sugars to avoid using too much, as this can alter the recipe's outcome.

3. Chill the Dough

Chilling the dough is the key to achieving a chewy texture for the cookies. This is because chilling allows the gluten to relax and the fats to solidify, preventing the cookies from spreading too much while baking. After preparing the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes before shaping and baking. Alternatively, you can refrigerate the dough overnight for even better results.

4. Add a Little Bit of Cornstarch

Cornstarch is a good secret ingredient to use in chocolate chip cookies. It helps to create a softer, chewier texture and prevents the cookies from becoming too crispy. Add about one tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients before mixing with the dough.

5. Use Room Temperature Butter and Eggs

Using room temperature butter and eggs is important in getting the right texture and consistency for the cookies. When the butter and eggs are at room temperature, they mix together more evenly, creating a uniform batter that produces even results. When baking, be sure to remove the butter and eggs from the refrigerator at least an hour before making the cookies.

6. Don't Overmix the Dough

When making the dough, avoid overmixing it, as this can lead to tough cookies. Mix the ingredients just enough to combine them, and then stop. Overmixing can cause the gluten to develop too much, making the cookies tough and not as enjoyable to eat.

7. Use Parchment Paper

Using parchment paper when baking the cookies can help to prevent them from sticking to the pan. This makes it easier to remove them from the pan and also helps in achieving an even bake. When using parchment paper, be sure to cut it to fit the pan's size and not leave any edges exposed so that it does not catch fire in the oven.

8. Rotate the Pan While Baking

Rotating the pan while baking helps the cookies to cook evenly. This is because ovens have hot spots, and when the pan is rotated, it ensures that each cookie gets to experience an equal amount of heat. This will help to achieve a consistent bake and prevent some of the cookies from getting too crispy or burnt.

9. Underbake Slightly

When making all grown up chewy chocolate chip cookies, aim to take them out of the oven when they are slightly undercooked. The cookies will continue to cook on the pan, and as they cool, they will begin to set. This will give you a chewy texture, and you won't end up with crispy or hard cookies that are difficult to eat.

10. Store Properly

Finally, how you store the cookies plays a significant role in their shelf life, freshness, and texture. After baking, allow the cookies to cool completely, and then store them in an airtight container, like a plastic bag or container, at room temperature. Do not stack the cookies on top of each other, as this can make them stick together and lose their shape.

Conclusion

Making all grown up chewy chocolate chip cookies is a fun and easy activity, and by following the above tips, you can ensure that everyone's taste buds will be satisfied. Using quality ingredients, measuring accurately, chilling the dough, adding cornstarch, using room temperature butter and eggs, not overmixing the dough, using parchment paper, rotating the pan while baking, underbaking slightly, and storing properly are all great tips that can help you achieve a perfect batch of all grown up chewy chocolate chip cookies every time.
