Our Favourite One Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

OUR FAVORITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375.
• Line baking sheets with silpats or parchment paper.
• In a mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar and white sugar on medium high speed for 2 minutes.
• Add the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
• In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
• Turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture.
• Mix until almost incorporated then add the chocolate chips. (We prefer semi sweet or a combination of milk and semi sweet.)
• Scoop cookies by using a cookie scoop but do not scrape against the side of the bowl, merely scoop, lift and round the bottom with the other hand then place on a cookie sheet, spread apart so they don't end up touching.
• Bake for 8 minutes, or up to 10 depending on your oven.
• Remove when the bottoms look set but the tops are not yet brown, just golden in some places.
• Allow to cool for 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack or into your mouth.

OUR FAVORITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 375°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Lightly beat eggs and vanilla in a small bowl.
• Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add egg mixture and beat, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, until mixture is pale and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, beating until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate with a spatula.
• Spoon about 12 heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto each prepared sheet, spacing 1" apart. Chill dough 15 minutes on baking sheets before transferring to oven to prevent dough from spreading too much as it bakes.
• Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until just golden brown around the edges, 10-12 minutes (cookies will firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool on baking sheets 3 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely. Let baking sheet cool completely before lining with fresh parchment and spooning on dough for the third batch of cookies.
• Do Ahead
• Dough can be made 3 months ahead. Wrap tightly and freeze. Cookies can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.

ONE BOWL CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Chop chocolate into small pieces and set half of the chocolate aside for later use. Melt remaining chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler, stirring constantly until smooth.
• Add the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla to the melted chocolate, mixing well after each addition. Combine the flour and baking powder, stir into the chocolate mixture along with the reserved chopped chocolate and pecans if desired. Batter will be soft. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto a cookie sheet. Cookies should be at least 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are puffed and set. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
