CHEWY CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Chewy Chocolate Cookies image

This cookie recipe-a favorite of our four children-has been in my collection for years. Sometimes I'll substitute mint-flavored chips for the semisweet chocolate chips. Either way, the chocolate cookies disappear quickly. This is one of our favorite easy chocolate chip cookie recipes. -Sheri Ziesemer, Olympia, Washington

When my sister and I were little, we used to beg my mother and grandmother to make these buttery chocolate cookies during the holidays. Now, as moms ourselves, we get together every year to make Christmas cookies, and the chocolate logs are always on the top of our list. —Deanna Markkos, Western Springs, Illinois

Mother's Chewy Oatmeal Logs Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by DreiFromBK

Number Of Ingredients 21

Makes about 40 cookies
Don't use instant oats (you'll lose the nice, chewy quality of the oats) or blackstrap molasses (which is too strong) in this recipe.
Ingredients
COOKIES
1 3/4 cups (8 3/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
8 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cups (8 3/4 ounces) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (6 ounces) old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup raisins
2/3 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
GLAZE
1/2 cup (2 ounces) confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. FOR THE COOKIES: Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in bowl; set aside. Using stand mixer fitted with paddle, beat shortening and sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. Add molasses and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture in 3 additions, and mix until just combined, scraping down bowl as needed. Add oats, raisins, and walnuts, and oats and mix until incorporated. 2. Form dough into four 9 by 2-inch logs and place 3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned and just set, 16 to 19 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes. Slide parchment onto cutting board and, using sharp knife, cut logs crosswise into 1½-inch-thick bars. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. 3. FOR THE GLAZE: Whisk sugar, milk, and vanilla all ingredients together in bowl until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cookies and let sit for 15 minutes to firm. Serve. (Cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.)

CHEWY CHOCOLATE COOKIES



Chewy Chocolate Cookies image

This is a Cook's Illustrated recipe that was originally published in January 2009. These are dark, almost fudgy cookies that are not crumbly at all. They develop a nice, crackly top and are not overly sweet, even with the granulated sugar coating. CI recommends using Callebaut Intense Dark L-60-40NV, but any high- quality dark, bittersweet, or semisweet chocolate will work. Light brown sugar can be substituted for the dark, as can light corn syrup for the dark, but with some sacrifice in flavor. A spring-loaded ice cream scoop (size #30) can be used to portion the dough.

Time 1h7m

Yield 16 cookies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup granulated sugar (about 2 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (7 1/2 ounces)
3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon table salt plus 1/8 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (70 degrees)
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar (about 2 1/2 ounces)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large (18- by 12-inch) baking sheet with parchment paper. Place ½ cup granulated sugar in shallow baking dish or pie plate.
  • Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in medium bowl. Whisk corn syrup, egg white, and vanilla together in small bowl.
  • In stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low, add corn syrup mixture, and beat until fully incorporated, about 20 seconds, scraping bowl once with rubber spatula. With mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture and chopped chocolate; mix until just incorporated, about 30 seconds, scraping bowl once. Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no pockets of flour remain at bottom. Chill dough 30 minutes to firm slightly (do not chill longer than 30 minutes).
  • Divide dough into 16 equal portions; roll between hands into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Working in batches, drop 8 dough balls into baking dish with sugar and toss to coat. Set dough balls on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are puffed and cracked and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will look raw between cracks and seem underdone), 10 to 11 minutes. Do not overbake.
  • Cool cookies on baking sheet 5 minutes, then use wide metal spatula to transfer cookies to wire rack; cool cookies to room temperature.
