PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter until smooth and then add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix for 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping the sides down as needed.
• Next add the eggs and vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until smooth.
• Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour until incorporated.
• Stir in both chocolates.
• Form about 1/4 cup of cookie dough into a balls and place on baking sheet about 2 1/2 inches apart.
• Place remaining dough in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
• Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges are golden. Tops of cookies might seem undercooked. Make sure to not over-bake!
• Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
• Repeat with remaining dough.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars for 3 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and cafe au lait-colored (use high speed on a hand mixer and medium speed on a stand mixer). Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat for 2 minutes more. Scrape down the bowl. Add the salt and baking soda and beat briefly until evenly combined. Add the flour and both chocolates, and mix on low speed until the flour is completely blended and the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or scrape the dough into an airtight container and let rest in the refrigerator until firm, a few hours. (Alternatively, if you don't want to wait, form the dough into balls on the baking sheet as instructed below and chill in the fridge until firm, about 30 minutes.)
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drop the dough in firmly packed 1.5-tablespoon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (I use a #40/1.5-T cookie scoop with a wire trigger.) Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until golden around the edges but still soft and pale in the center. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Note: Some readers have had issues with the cookies being flat. This can happen as a result of using a "softer" flour. I highly recommend King Arthur All Purpose Flour for this recipe -- it's high in protein and gluten, and helps cookies hold their shape.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) The baked cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

BAKERY STYLE CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• A couple of tips from helpful reviewers.
• The dough is meant to be on the dry side so it can be rolled, not dropped.
• If you're not getting a good flavor, try using a higher quality vanilla and/or chocolate chips. (Penzey's Madagascar Vanilla, Ghirardelli chips, fresh/real butter).
• Check your oven temperature, cooking time and temperature is critical. If the cookies are not chewy they are probably overcooked.
• Bread flour will make the cookies even more chewy, biscuit flour will make them less chewy.
• Do not let your dough get warm, I like to scoop it on to pans and refrigerate before I pop them in the oven.
• Pan color is very important, if they are too dark you may experience some crisp edges, try using some parchment and lowering the cooking temperature a bit.
• Place oven racks in the upper and lower 1/3's of the oven.
• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Cover 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper Mix flour, baking powder & salt in a bowl or bag and set aside.
• Mix butter and sugars with with a mixer until blended and smooth, add egg, yolk & vanilla.
• Mix until incorporated.
• Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Stir in chips and optional nuts.
• Divide into 18 equal balls, a 2" cookie scoop works just about perfectly, about 60 gms each.
• EVENLY space 9 on each cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12-18 minutes, rotating front to back and top to bottom after 8 minutes.
• Cool on sheets to maintain chewy texture.
