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.

THICK, SOFT, AND CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Thick, Soft, and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I moved out of the house in 1992 but my dad still insist I make his chocolate chip cookies for him. After much searching these are the ones we deemed "best". Soft and chewy but with a lightly crisp outer layer. If you don't want the crispness, substitute more butter for the shortening. I have found that you need to follow the directions *exactly* to get the best cookies. Not using real butter or all brown sugar, not beating the eggs in one at a time, not baking them at a higher temp than the "traditional" recipe, all make a difference in the end result. I have also found that Land o' Lake butter makes a better cookie than some generic brand butter. Don't let the butter sit out too long. It needs to soften but if it sits until the moisture starts to separate from the butter, it is too soft and it will affect the resulting cookies. If that happens, refrigerate the dough for about an hour to help them not spread as much. It also helps to use the mixer on the dough in between batches going into the oven. It helps keep the dough from starting to separate if it is a warm day. Another thing I've learned is you have to make sure there is plenty of circulation in your oven. When I moved, my cookies started turning out flat again. I finally realized that my oven was smaller at the new house and when I switched to smaller cookie sheets, my cookies turned out perfectly!

SOFT AND CHEWY NUTELLA WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



SOFT AND CHEWY NUTELLA WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Christmas

Yield 11 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
heaping 1/3 cup Nutella (stir well before adding)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt, optional and to taste
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer) combine the butter, Nutella, sugars, egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about 4 minutes. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, optional salt, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the white and chocolate chips, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Using a large cookie scoop, 1/4-cup measure, or your hands, form approximately 11 equal-sized mounds of dough, roll into balls, and flatten slightly. Tip - Strategically place a few chocolate chips right on top of each mound of dough by taking chips from the underside and adding them on top. Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading. Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray. Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet) and bake for about 9 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked and glossy in the center; don't overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack. Cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.

SOFT AND CHEWY NUTELLA WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Soft and Chewy Nutella White Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These cookies made with Nutella and stuffed with both white and semi-sweet chocolate chips are melt-in-your mouth soft and tender. A bit of cornstarch helps create softbatch-style soft cookies, and they stay soft for days. The contrast of the white chocolate chips embedded in the dark dough is so eye-catching, especially when the chips melt, glisten, and get gooey, but you can substitute with milk or semi-sweet chips, or a combination. The cookies are sweet, rich, decadent, dense, and wonderfully thick. For thick cookies, your must plan ahead and chill the dough. You'll definitely need napkins for these soft, thick, bakery-style cookies.

SOFT & CHEWY GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!



Soft & Chewy Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies! image

These chewy Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies will make your heart skip a beat! Filled with just the right amount of melty chocolate, they come together in under 20 minutes.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend, (such as Bob's Red Mill, Cup-4-Cup, or King Arthur Flour)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prep a baking sheet by spraying it with cooking spray or by lining it with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat until melted and bubbling. Once it starts bubbling, allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the butter starts to brown, then pull it off of the heat immediately to prevent burning.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine both sugars. Add browned butter to them and mix. Next add the egg and egg yolk and whisk until smooth. Add in the vanilla and whisk again.
  • In a separate, small mixing bowl, combine the gluten free flour blend, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add it to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, taking care not to overmix the batter.
  • Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, place balls of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to space them out about 3 inches from each other to prevent spreading.
  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes. Flip the pan around halfway through baking to ensure browning on all sides of the cookies.
  • Once the cookies start to brown around the edges, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 10 minutes, or until cool to the touch. Enjoy them by themselves or with a cup of cold milk.

SOFT N' CHEWY VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Soft N' Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies image

This is my favorite vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe to date and it's the most simple too! Consistency is soft on the inside, with a bit of a crisp to the outside and one should be sure to not let them overcook! The cookie dough gets even better if it's allowed to chill, or if the cookie dough is only used partially and the rest is then stored in refrigerator or freezer.

SOFT & CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Are you hoping to bake a slightly thicker, chewier cookie than the usual Tollhouse recipe? After tinkering with the classic, I pulled a tray of perfect cookies out of the oven. They don't spread as much as the Tollhouse variety, so they're tender all the way through. Don't be scared off by the shortening that is used in place of butter: that's what keeps these chippers so nice and soft. Last night was the third time I've made them, and everyone who has eaten one comments that these are the best tasting, and looking, chocoloate chip cookies they've ever eaten. I tend to agree!

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 35m

Yield 32-36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup shortening
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs (I use large eggs)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 -1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.Grease a cookie sheet (I use canola oil pan spray).
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir lightly.
  • In a separate, larger mixing bowl, cream the shortening, brown sugar and white sugar thoroughly. Crack in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla, mixing well to combine.
  • Begin adding the dry mixture to the shortening mixture. Add about 1/4 or 1/3 of the dry mixture at a time, thoroughly blending each addition of flour into the shortening before adding the next.
  • If you like a hint of cinnamon in your cookies, add 1/2 teaspoon now (I think its an excellent addition: not so much that anyone notices the cinnamon taste, but it gives the cookies a little more flavor). Stir in the cinnamon.
  • Add the chocolate chips and mix into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
  • Spoon golf-ball sized mounds of dough onto the baking sheet: I make 12 per tray.
  • Bake in the 375 oven for about 10 minutes. Just in case, I would check them once after 8 minutes, and allow them up to 12.
  • Remove from the oven when the cookie centers are just set but still soft, and the edges are just browning. Cool on the tray for about 5 minutes, them remove to a cooling rack if you have one, otherwise a plate will be fine.
  • Just don't stack them on top of one another while they are still soft!
  • Enjoy!
