My entire life my mom made chocolate chip cookies but somehow I did not enter into adulthood remembering the recipe. After getting married I decided to venture on a quest to find the best cookie recipe in the world.
Because I am a lazy cook this journey only involved a couple of hours scanning all the recipes on allrecipes.com.
*Side note: this recipe site is amazing. It has recipes for everything, tons of reviews and great suggestions. If you have not tried it you should!! Only use 4 or 5 star recipes!
I have tried a bunch. Yesterday I made a batch that I liked. I still am not satisfied. Here is the recipe that I followed...
Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
INGREDIENTS
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3. 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.
4. 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
What do you think about this recipe? Do you have a good one that I should try?
