After trying several recipes in the last few months, this has to be my new FAVORITE chocolate chip cookie recipe. They have a great flavor and are thick and chewy. Perfect when you want a nice, simple and original cookie!
Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (adapted from baking illustrated)
Ingredients:
2 cups plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
12 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Adjust oven racks to upper and lower-middle positions. Preheat oven 325°. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium bowl; set aside. With electric mixer, or by hand, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly combined. Beat in egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined. Add dry ingredients and beat at low-speed just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Roll a scant half-cup (0r 1/4 c if you want smaller cookies) of dough into a ball. Holding dough ball in fingertips of both hands, pull apart into two equal halves. Rotate halves 90 degrees and, with jagged surfaces facing up, place formed dough onto cookie sheet, leaving ample room between each ball. Bake, reversing position of cookie sheets halfway through baking, until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft and puffy (approximately 11-14 minutes). Don't over-bake!!!
Cool cookies on sheets until able to lift without breaking. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
do you know how many cookies this recipe makes? i'm bringing in food for my students and want to make sure I have enough ingredients :)
