I really like these kinds of videos because it satisfies my curiosity of "why should I not do this or do that" kind of stuffs. I really question sometimes about something and how really affects the end product of baked goods. Thank you Gemma for sharing this! Definitely will make again a better choco chip cookie than last time.
Can I request for a cheesecake version of this, or maybe perhaps a cake? I really sometimes screw up when I do those. Thank you once again!!!
-From the Phililpines 😁
I’ll see what I can do about your request. I can’t promise anything at the moment, but we’re open to suggestions for future shoots.
I had never made cookies at home. The first time I made was your best ever choc chip cookies and they came out perfect. My kids loved it. So now it's my go to recipe for choc chip cookies. Thank you Gemma🤗
I’m delighted to hear that! Thank you for the kind words.
Ah, now I know why I don't use melted butter. I love crispy cookies, not gooey ones.
We’ll do you want a mixture of both or do you like ones that just snap.
Mine come out perfect every time and I just make the old Toll House recipe. They are soft and chewy with the chips nice and soft.
Sounds great!
I knew there was going to be someone triggered by being told a better way of doing something.
@@Sweetthang9 Mine comes out perfect every time. No need to change perfection. Not triggered, just happy with mine.
Me too. My chips come out melty.
I just made some yesterday, and they were chewy with melted chips. That recipe has baking soda and brown sugar, too. These tips are still good, but so are my go-to cookies. 🍪
This is SO helpful! The chocolate chip cookie really is the holy grail of cookies, it's nice to have a guide like this so I can make perfect cookies every time! I think I'll go make some now!
I like the look of the wrong cookie it’s just so perfect and cartoony. But I do love the soft gooey texture of the cookies baked the correct way
You can make your cookie your way. This video will guide you what changes or adjustments are needed to achieve it.
Yes I actually prefer the cookie cooked the wrong way as well. The other one it just seems like you’re eating raw dough.
But good to know what different ingredients do
I love these sort of videos. Knowing how things affect the cooking process helps us to be better cooks. Thanks Gemma. Much appreciated.
I thought I had my cookie recipe down but after watching this my mind is blown! Thank you Gemma! I'd love to see cinnamon roll and chocolate cake videos for this series 😁 And I would love if they were even more detailed as well.
I’ll see what I can do about it, Julia. Thank you for watching.
Loving this series. I’ve made your best ever cookies before, aging the dough was a revelation and they went over VERY well! I love this video for making sure I get the technique right.
I also get lots of requests for your oatmeal and raisin cookies so I’d love to see a right/wrong video about those.
Glad you enjoyed this. I’ll look into your suggestion but I can’t promise anything at the moment because we have so much work to do.
I am really loving these videos. Great comparison, I did some of those mistakes when I first started baking years ago. This would have been so helpful back then. Now I know if a recipe is worth making because of the ingredients. 👍🏼👍🏼
Hope this was helpful!
That was super , wow so few little differences makes such a huge difference in the end, I am amazed!! I very seldom use chocolate chips but will make sure I never do again, only chopped chocolate bar
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible knowledge. I enjoy seeing things my mother and grandmother's did so well. This was along time ago. Be blessed.
Thanks for sharing, William!
I have been a melted butter convert for awhile now. The combination of melted butter and brown sugar lends a caramel-y flavor to the cookies. I still use chocolate chips for convenience. I hate the mess that chopped chocolate makes. Chilling your dough is a must!
Chocolate chips is the way to go for you!
Thank you so much for this video! I learned so much about cookie baking. This really explains where I went wrong previously. I Can't wait to try your recipe in your style.
Glad it was helpful, Julia.
Thank you for sharing, great tips
This is such a useful series! I didn't know you needed to melt butter for cookies, I'll definitely do this next time 😄
Hope you get on well with the next batch!
@@biggerbolderbaking I'll definitely be using these tips to make better cookies 🍪
@@mariaconsuelothomen I'm going to give it a try and see if it makes better cookies 🙂
Tried making this recipe and following the recipe to a tee. I swear this is like the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe out there. And I’ve tried many! Its chewy in the middle and crispy at the edges just how I like it. Absolutely divine! The do’s and dont’s really help alot. Love it!
Glad you liked it!!
Love the good and quick information you give with comparisons , love the series especially as a young aspiring cook.
Glad you appreciate it, Thomas. Thanks for watching!

Glad you appreciate it! Thank you for sharing.
Hi Gemma ! Thank you for this video . I love this series. I must admit I have been making two of the mistakes 🤦♀️.
I have been using chocolate chips! Somehow, I missed that I needed to melt my butter! Now I am on my way to the best ever chocolate chip cookies. ❤❤
Go for it, Kelly. I hope you’ll get better results.
I’ve been using chocolate chips and they always melt
Another really helpful video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome!!!!
This helped me so much
An amazing video, so informative, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
We need more of these videos! What about pie dough or scones?
This was really interesting, Gemma! I have never come across a recipe or explanation to not use baking powder in a chocolate chip cookie. It's my birthday today, and I think I'm going to make myself a batch of these. 🍪
I'm going to go check out the banana bread one now. Thanks😁
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday, Gina! Go ahead and give this a go!
I ran out of self raising flour yesterday and added baking powder, my cookies came out cakey and now I know why! Fantastic information! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This looks amazing!!!

Delighted to hear that. Welcome to Bigger Bolder Baking!
Thank you for the advice!
Hope it was helpful!
Thank you so much! I'm loving this series so far. Can you do a video about how NOT to make oatmeal cookies?
I’ll look into it, Franco. Thank you for watching.
Incredible tips! I've been following them all ever since you've been posting. I'd like to add a recent discovery about microwave mug cakes. A hack that made them softer and moist. I add another cup next to the mug cake one with 1/4 or less of warm water and when the water evaporates around, magic happens! Thanks Gem for making baking feel beyond entertaining by all means.
Thanks for sharing! Glad to have you here!
Awesome
I got my hands on your best chocolate chip cookie recipe and have had to make seven batches since Saturday June 4th. I have an 8th to make as we speak. They turned out like your "right" cookies. Lol. I've heard "these are the best cookies I've ever eaten" on more than one occasion. I've also heard "I can't stop eating them" and "these are the bomb". Thank you, thank you, thank you for the beautiful recipe. I can tell you've put hard work into making these cookies amazing.
Thank you so much for your input and this glowing review, Julie!
Chocolate chip cookies looks amazing Gemma. Hope you have a nice day
Thanks a million. Hope you have a nice day, too.
Thank you Gemma for demonstrate it really help
You’re welcome 😊
really explains things！ love this video
Delighted to hear that, Chen.
Wow you just blew my mind! I have been doing it all wrong. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Glad you found this helpful!
Gemma i absolutely love your channel!!!!
Thank you so much for the support.
my recipe is a recipe from a good housekeeping magazine in the 1950's and it was actually for candied fruit not choc chips. it has both baking soda and baking powder. It also has brown sugar and lots of vanilla. I like to use a cool margarine. (That is what my mom has.) My sister uses a warm marg and hers flatten out. Mine are not a flat cookie.. but it is soft in the middle, (you have to only cook it until it is browned on the bottom).. It is a family recipe that has been a favourite for years. I purposely make small cookies because they are sent in the lunches in a small snack bag. I fit 4 in a snack bag for lunches. (for men and kids) because they are made for hired men mostly, we use margarine and choc chips. Thanks for the tips.. I must try your recipe at home for my husband...we have butter.
Thank you for sharing, Lori! Hope you’ll like my recipe! Here it is, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-chip-cookies/
This is good content. I learned a lot. Thank you so muchhh
Glad you enjoyed it!
Greetings from Nederland 🇳🇱 thank you for the information, really important to make cookies 🍪 stay connected 🌹🙏🏻
Thank you for this video
You’re most welcome. I hope you enjoyed it.
I wouldn't say the other cookies are "bad" cookies. There isn't a bad or wrong cookie, it's just different. It's all about preference.
It’s not bad of course, just not the ideal result with reference to my recipe. I’m explaining the cause and effect of changes to the recipe in terms of ingredients, form or method. In essence, one will know what changes are needed to achieve the kind of cookie that they want.
Interesting! Some people do prefer crispy cookies with clearly defined chocolate bits, though.
That is perfectly fine. Understanding the science of baking helps us achieve the desired result. Crispy cookies are fine if it is what you like. 😊
Subscribed .You’re a gem!
Hey Gemma...I really like this new series you have started, how NOT to make, do please make more of such videos, they're very helpful, indeed.
Glad you appreciate this! We’ll see what we’ll do next.
I love both 😂
Thank you so much Gemma
My sister and I always used to say that we are cursed to cookies because we never made them right but now I will def try these
Go for it, Hina. For best results, follow the written recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-chip-cookies/
0:41 You could cream the Softened Butter with Light Brown Sugar and White Sugar and that would get you something similar to the NYT Chocolate Chip Cookies but yeah I definitely Agree with you on NOT to use Chocolate Chips at all but instead a Chocolate Bar or Discs 2:13
I loved the video! Now I need to bake a batch of good cookies and eat all of them because they look delicious!
Go for it! Maria. Here’s my recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-chip-cookies/
How NOT to make: brownies 😋 Great series, Gemma!
I’ll look into it, Emily. Thank you for the suggestion.
Thank you Gemma for sharing all your secret tips for making these chocolate chip cookies. Will surely try these soon.
Do let me know how you get on! Hope you enjoy!
Bravo 👏 this is a game changer! Can't wait to make these!
Hope you enjoy!
Just made these! Delicious I'll be using baking chocolate instead of chocolate chip moving forward! Thanks
Amazing video 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing.
That's a pretty clear difference!
Oh I’ve been combining all of them! No wonder my dough ends up so lumpy and breaks apart. I’ve only made cookies twice now so I have more to learn
Practice makes perfect! Go for it!
I'd eat both! 😁
Loved this Gemma! I love knowing the "why" or "why not"! You are so kind to give this information :-) If you ever want to do macarons, I would be thrilled!
Glad you appreciate it, Julie. I have a detailed why or why not article in my macaron recipe. Check it out here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/french-macarons-recipe-guide/

Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you so much, this video, just like all your other videos was soooo helpful. We need more of these on RUclips trending!!!! Really helpful tips 👍 do you have a video on bread as I am struggling with making bread , cheers God bless
I’m glad you found this helpful, Sheroy. Thank you for sharing and for the support.
Chocolate chip rule really depends on the brand Ghirardelli chocolate chips actually melt quite well in cookies.
I just love your recipe and all of your tips, thanks so much 🌺🦋😃 Just wondering, how many days do the cookies keep? Although, I know that there probably wont be any left to worry about 😛
Thanks for being here!
Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Keep raw cookie dough in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze pre-scoop balls of dough for up to 8 weeks.
Hope you give them a go and enjoy :

Thank you so much for the support, Filomena!
I like utterly your information about how to not make, I learned a lot of things from your videos, thank you so much
Happy to hear that!
Very interesting.
Glad you think so!
That's YOUR way. Doesn't mean it's the only way. I happen to prefer chocolate chips in mine, milk chocolate Hershey's chips to be precise. The rest of your instructions are pretty much spot on with how I make my own except that I make smaller cookies and I usually only bake them @ 375 for 9 minutes. Smaller ones are easier to hold and since I'm using chips I don't wind up with a mess of chocolate all over my fingers. I couldn't really say what the size of the cookie dough is, I just know when it looks right when I put it on the parchment paper on the cookie sheet. I've never bought cookies from a bakery so I guess I wouldn't know...or care what theirs look like. Baking mine for 9 minutes given their size makes them come out of the oven pretty gooey and as they cool they don't really "harden" so much as they simply firm up just a bit on the outside but stay nice and soft overall and when eating them I love the way the chips melt in my mouth, not on my hands. :)
They're just cookies. She was just giving her expert advice, which is helpful to a lot of people.
Hi. As mentioned in the video, the reference for this is my chocolate chip cookie recipe, which has received so many reviews, including those that did not turn out like mine. This is basically explaining the science behind baking it, why melted butter, why I use brown sugar, or chocolate chunks, etc. It is not in any way meant to discredit other chocolate chip cookie recipes or say that my recipe is the correct recipe. The aim is for bakers to have a better appreciation of baking. I am hoping that by understanding the cause and effect of changes to my recipe, the baker who wished to have the same result will be able to troubleshoot his result. This applies to other bakers as well, that by appreciating the differences, will know how to proceed with their cookies according to their respective preferences.
I made one with hershey's chocolate chips and wondered why they didnt melted. Definitely getting a bar instead next time.
Go ahead and give it a go, Rattango!
I‘ll eat both. I am not going to lie.🤣
Lol!
Exactly, I don’t think either is wrong, one’s old Skool and it depends on your taste tbh….
Looks so yummy. Thank you so much for the tips. Can you please teach me how to make white chocolate macadamia nut cookies? Thank you. 💕
Hi Cheng. I have a recipe for one, but it does not have a video. You can apply what I shared in this video when you make it. Here’s the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/white-chocolate-macadamia-nut-cookies/
@@biggerbolderbaking Thank you so much. I will try to make some. ❤️
Thank you, Gemma! I learned a lot from your channel and made some recipes like Double Chocolate Chips Muffins and 5-minute Pizza Sauce with homemade Italian seasoning.
I'm Smart Beeta. And indeed a cookie lover this video will guild me well.
I’m delighted to hear that! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Gemma! I can’t wait to try these. *I really need to cut down on the sugar. *What would the measurements be for less sugar, please and 🙏
Hi. You can reduce the sugar but no more than a quarter or a third of the amount in the recipe. Sugar not only sweetens, it also helps with the structure and texture of the cookies. Hope this helps.
@@biggerbolderbaking Gemma, Thank you so much for the suggestion! I will reduce the sugar by a quarter. I really appreciate your help!
@@biggerbolderbaking Gemma, I made the cookies and they were wonderful! Crispy around the edges and chewy on the inside! Thank you 😊
Hi mam Gemma. It's me again. I am so thankful I came to know your channel it has full of imformative in terms of baking. Let me tell you, when I saw this vid, I have a lot of "really"? Hahaha. I'm a beginner here but got tons of ideas on your channel. Thank you soo much 🙏🙏
Hope this was helpful, Hazel. Thanks for watching!
We all do what works for us, but I never use melted butter, just softened butter. I never get good results when using melted butter. If you do, that's great! I don't so I don't use it. And I do use chips, but I use Ghirardelli 60% cocoa chips. They melt beautifully to perfection!!
Gemma's recipe is almost an exact match to mine except I use less sugar - 3/4 cup each of brown and white sugar and I find that plenty sweet. I also often add a handful of whole oats to my dough and about a cup of chopped walnuts. The oats give it some body and a great taste and the walnuts add a nice flavor and a bit of crunch. Yum!!
The point for this is really for bakers to have an appreciation of what an ingredient does to a recipe, to know what to change in order to get their preference in chocolate chip cookies 😊
Hey Gemma, been a big fan for long now. Perfect videos. Congratulations on ur new home. Here my question, how come i cant find any mint chocolate chip cookies on ur blog??
Hi, Nitasha! You can add mint extract to this dough by drops until you get a desired flavor: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-chip-cookies/.

@@biggerbolderbaking I will, thank you! 😊
hi gemma! i had a 3 questions about your recipe for your chocolate chip cookies!
1) do you use unsalted butter or salted butter?
2) how many days in total did you keep this dough in the fridge for this video? or how many hours. i want to make them exactly and want them to turn out exactly how u did in this video. so in conclusion. for this video , how many’s hours or how many days did you chill the dough?
3) i would like to know pretty plz…how long do you let your cookies cool and set after you take them out ?
❤️
This video could've helped clueless 13yo me lol. My first ever baked goods was chocolate chip cookies that also started my baking journey. I've always use your videos/ websites to guide me. But i always couldn't get brownies right. Please do brownies next
I’ll see what I can do about it, Shelina. Thank you for watching.
I always reduce the amount of butter and sugar (personal taste) and I noticed that the dough doesn't spread as much as it would with the original recipe. So, I flatten my dough slightly before baking.
I mostly creamed the softened butter with both brown and white sugar, but I gave it a shot with melted butter once and the cookies turned out chewier and softer, compared to the crispy, slightly shortbread-y texture I got with creamed butter. I think I'll start incorporating both methods depending on the texture I want.
@@MJA5 Hey, no need to barge in and tell a stranger to "give up" on something they like doing. I enjoy baking bread or desserts in my free time, but with a younger brother who loves sweets and both parents who aren't too keen on sweet snacks, I always need to make a compromise. When I only reduced the sugar by half, the cookies literally deflated and got "fried", so I learned that I had to hold back on both! As for the different methods, I'd like to think of it as a sort of an experiment.
You can make your cookie any way you like it by making adjustments either to the method or the ingredients. Go for it!
Love these videos and I'm sure my kids would still eat the "how not to make cookies "!😉👏👏
Lol! I would, too!
The one's made wrong is exactly what i been trying to make. I made the right one's just fine. But personally i prefer the pale crispy no melt chip cookies. Thanks for helping me discover how to be a less than perfect baker😄💛🎉😉🌹👍
And that’s perfectly fine. Understanding the science of baking will help us achieve any bake just the way we like it.
Now I have to bake the cookie dough I have in my freezer. Also I don’t usually use any leavening agent because they make it spread like crazy I like mine hot gooey messy
Thanks for sharing.
I use the Chipits (Canadian version Toll House) cookie recipe on pkg. Only thing different is butter not melted and chocolate chips instead of chunks. I’ll try the melted butter next time. I do not like the cookies you buy where the centre is not fully cooked. It tastes like raw dough to me.😝 Thanks Gemma.
What is important is understanding the science of baking, to guide you in making changes that would let you achieve the perfect cookie for you 😊
Do a video like this for brownies and lemon bars!!! Sometimes, my lemon bars have inverted 😔 (the crust floated to the top). Happened to a few ppl I know
I’ll see what I can do about it, Shira.
Guess I’ve been doing my chocolate chip cookies right all along. Except for banging the pan on the counter 🤣. Thanks for these tips, Gemma.
Banging the pan is just a tip, if you want that crinkly top. Totally optional though.
Thank you Gemma! I would love to see you make some lactation cookies and other lactation sweets for expecting mamas 🥰
I’ll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.
I look forward it, God willing (:
Would love to see a video where you compare the egg vs the eggless version of the same recipe
There are many substitutes to eggs, that might take too much time as one substitute does not affect the other ingredients or results the same way.
Unsweetened applause works just fine.
Lol not me writing down the recipe for the wrong way made cookies because I finally found the perfect recipe for cakey chocolate chip cookies XD
I’m baking this cookie tomorrow
Go for it! Here’s the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-chip-cookies/
WOW!! No wonder my cookies were used for flying saucers. Thank you so much!!!!
Lol!
Also try it with dark brown sugar not light it makes the cookies taste sooo much better. I rarely ever see recapies that use dark brown sugar I don't know why so many people use light brown sugar. I have experienced it myself & loved it with the dark brown sugar so much that now for any kind of baking that asks for brown sugar I go for the dark.
I agree, the darker it is the better flavor it lends to the bake. Unfortunately, it’s not always available to everyone. I think that is one reason why many recipes use the light brown kind, availability.
