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!

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.)

5 (OR 6) INGREDIENT PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



5 (or 6) Ingredient Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies image

The original recipe (5 Ingredient Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies) I pinched from Baker Bettie's website. The cookies can be made with white, or brown sugar, butter, margarine or lard, any kind of flour and any kind of chocolate chip you have on hand. They are: chewy, cakey, crispy! Delicious!

Provided by Kathy W

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick butter (margarine, shortening, salted, unsalted)
1 c sugar (white sugar gives you crispier cookies, brown sugar gives you chewier ones)
1 large egg
1 1/8 c flour (all purpose, self-rising, or bread flour)
1 c chocolate chips (any kind)
1 c chopped nuts, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°
  • 2. Mix butter and sugar together until thoroughly combined.
  • 3. Add the egg and mix until incorporated.
  • 4. Stir in flour, the chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
  • 5. Scoop onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment (or use a silpat) by the tablespoonsful, place about 2 inches apart - they will spread out some.
  • 6. Bake at 350° until just lightly browned on the edges (the middle may look a bit undercooked) 7-9 minutes (it may take longer depending on the size of the cookies - if you used a level or heaping tablespoonful - and your oven...it took about 18 minutes in my oven.)
  • 7. Allow to cool on the baking sheet 2 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes about 4 cups cookie dough

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
2 sticks unsalted butter (1 melted, 1 at room temperature)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps:

  • For the dough: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the stick of room temperature butter, granulated sugar, dark brown and light brown sugars on medium speed until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. DO NOT OVER BEAT. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla until combined. Slowly stream in the melted butter until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until completely combined.

  • Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, if you desire.
  • Cool the baking sheets completely, then line with parchment paper and repeat the baking process with the remaining dough.

1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp pure almond extract

  • 4. 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. Or if you want ghee, you can simply strain the milk solids out by pouring butter over a mesh sieve with cheesecloth into the liquid measuring cup. Allow it to cool down for a minute or two, give it a stir, and carefully add 2-3 tbsp of water to the butter to bring it back up to 1 cup (240 ml) of liquid.
