Bakery Style Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
• Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• In a large bowl, cream margarine and brown sugar together.
• Beat in eggs one at a time.
• Add vanilla.
• Sift dry ingredients together.
• Add to wet mixture.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Do not overmix.
• Drop onto a greased cookie sheet (or roll into balls if you prefer).
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes (DO NOT go over 12 minutes- they will become harder!).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°.
• Mix butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs in large bowl.
• Stir in flour, soda, salt, baking powder and cream of tartar.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Drop with a #40 scoop (mini ice cream scooper) about 2" apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake 12-15 minutes or until light brown.
• Cool slightly; remove from baking sheet. Cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Grease a cookie/baking sheet/s (or line the pan with parchment paper).
• In a bowl mix together the flour with the next 3 dry ingredients.
• In a mixing bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed beat the melted butter with maple extract and both sugars until blended.
• Add in the whole egg and yolk; continue beating until the mixture resembles a thick caramel texture (about 3-4 minutes, the color of the mixture should lighten up slightly).
• Add in the flour mixture and beat until just blended.
• Mix in chocolate chips and nuts.
• If you find that the dough is too soft place in refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Set oven to 350°F.
• Drop about 1/4-cup of the dough onto the baking sheet spacing about 3" apart.
• For jumbo cookies bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are just slightly browned, for smaller cookies bake 8-10 minutes.
• Cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes then transfer to wire racks.

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!

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat together the cooled melted butter and the sugars with a hand mixer for about one minute. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix briefly, just until there are no flour crumbs left. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to an hour.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 325, making sure you have the racks in the middle of the oven.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and preheat to 325 degrees, making sure you have the racks in the middle of the oven.
• Scoop 1/4 cup of cookie dough at a time and roll into balls. Then, tear the balls in half by pulling gently on both sides.
• Smash the two halves together, but this time have the lumpy, torn sides face upward. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the cookies have plenty of space to spread.
• Bake for about 12 minutes, rotating halfway through, or until the cookies have spread out and the edges are golden, but the center of the cookie still looks soft and justly slightly undercooked.
• Let cool on the baking sheets until the cookies are firm enough to remove.
