Perfectly Puffy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
• Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
• Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
• Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
• Cool completely before serving.
• Enjoy!

THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the vegetable oil, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Blend in the dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

FLAT-AND-CHEWY CHOCOLATE-CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
• In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and sugars until fluffy, 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Add the flour mixture all at once and blend until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate and walnuts. Chill the dough for at least an hour.
• Preheat oven to 325. Roll 2 1/2 -tablespoon lumps of dough into balls, then place on the baking sheet and flatten to 1/2 -inch-thick disks spaced 2 inches apart. Chill the dough between batches. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a baking rack.

PERFECT FLUFFY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt butter with brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in white sugar, baking soda, and salt. Let mixture cool for 15 minutes.
• Transfer butter mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add beaten eggs and vanilla extract; mix well. Fold in flour gently, 1 cup at a time, using a wooden spoon. Fold chocolate chips into the thick batter with the spoon.
• Refrigerate cookie dough for 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and arrange on ungreased, nonstick baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to turn golden, 8 to 9 minutes. Let cool.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

PERFECTLY PUFFY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugars, butter and Crisco until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract. Add pudding mix; stir until incorporated.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 3 cups of the flour with the baking soda and salt. Slowly blend into the egg mixture.
• Add additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup of flour, if needed. The dough should be somewhat like the consistency of pie crust dough...not sticky. I use a total of 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour, depending on the humidity level of the day.
• Fold in chocolate chips.
• Drop spoonfuls of dough on cookie sheet. (To achieve a more round, cleaner look, roll the balls of cookie dough in your hand instead of just dropping on the cookie sheet.) Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are JUST starting to turn golden, rotating baking sheets halfway through. The cookies may not look done, but that is the trick to keeping them puffy and soft. Let cookies cool on the cookie sheet on top of wire racks for 5 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets and cool completely on the cooling racks.
• *Recipe Note: Make sure your baking soda is not expired. Test this by combining a little with vinegar and water. If not bubbly, get new baking soda or you will have flat cookies.

PERFECTLY PUFFY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In a glass bowl, microwave the butter for about 40 seconds to just barely melt it. It shouldn't be hot - but it should well on it's way to liquid form; remove from microwave.
• Using a stand mixer, beat the melted butter with both sugars until creamy about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and the egg; beat on low speed until just incorporated.
• Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until a soft dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand with a large wooden or similar sturdy spoon.
• Roll the dough into 16 largish balls and divide between two cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies look puffy and just barely golden. Take care not to over bake the cookies as they'll continue to bake as they cool on the pan. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
• Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter or in the fridge- they're my favorite when just chilled! The cookies also freeze beautifully.

PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

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.)
