The Last Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe You’ll Ever Try
From America’s Test Kitchen Family Baking Book
Printable Recipe
2 cups plus 2 T. flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
12 T. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted and cooled
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk (when I double the recipe I do 3 eggs instead of 2 and 2 yolks… it’s up to you)
2 t. vanilla
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the melted butter and sugars together with an electric mixer (or stand mixer) on medium speed until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined.
Reduce the speed to low and slowly add half the flour, the salt and baking soda, and then the second half of the flour. Mix in the chips until incorporated. Working with 2 tablespoons of dough at a time, roll them into a ball and place them on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies until the edges are set and beginning to brown but the middles are still soft and puffy, around 15 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely.
This is my favorite ccc recipe also….the melted butter and extra brown sugar make them amazing!
I’m making these today after church. The only modification that I have to make for the recipe is I have milk chocolate chips, not semi-sweet. Hope they’re still as delicious!
yum! though I think rob needs to be the one making cookies @ our house. he made some yesterday that were soo chewy and yummy!
I started my new eating better/exercising- to-lose-the-baby-weight this past Monday and as my last indulgence I made these cookies! They were fantastic and you are right- I will never need another recipe again! I ate about 7 Sunday night! I’m so happy your blog is doing so amazing!! I love your recipes and ideas :)
So it takes some turn over time between making, photographing, editing, and then posting. SO the cookie posts are all a little old. I’m totally doing what you are doing! I’m doing 6 weeks with no sugar or refined carbs. Must loose my baby weight! I have a treat once a week (normally Sunday) and these are what I want to make all of the time! I’ve only been doing it for a week though so I haven’t made it to my snack day yet :) What’s your eating plan? We should work together. So much better with a friend!
OMG! This is probably the only chocolate chip cookie recipe that I will make from now on. Don’t know what does it, but it works!
It’s the melted butter I think. It does something magical. Thanks for the kind comment; I love feedback!
