CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES [The Only Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe You Need]

  • I truly think that this is the perfect chocolate chip cookie. It's chewy and gooey in the middle, a little crunchy around the edges, buttery, chocolatey, a touch salty. I can't think of something that the human brain wants more. I did a LOT of R&D for this one to get it just right. I tried browned butter vs creaming, switched up the ratios of ingredients, and tried different bake times and temps. I can say with confidence that the recipe that I'm showing you creates the absolute best chocolate chip cookie that I can imagine.

    FOR THIS RECIPE YOU'LL NEED:
    (makes 8 jumbo cookies. i always recommend using the recipe listed in grams for the most accurate results)
    220g (or 2 sticks/1 cup) nice butter
    100g (or 1/2 cup) granulated sugar
    200g (or 1 cup) dark brown sugar
    2 large eggs + 1 yolk
    4g (or 1 1/4 teas) vanilla extract
    8oz of 70% cacao nice baking chocolate (bars not chips)
    330g (or 2 1/3 cups) AP flour
    1/2 teas baking soda
    1/4 teas baking powder
    7g (or 1 1/4 teas) salt
    flakey salt for topping
    Into the bowl of a stand mixer, add room temperature butter and the sugars. Using the paddle attachment, cream for 4-5 minutes on medium high. Then add in eggs + yolk and vanilla and cream on high for another 1 minutes (pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway through). Creaming times will vary slightly based on the temperature of your product. At the end of the creaming, your mixture should look the way it does in the video.
    Roughly chop the chocolate. Transfer the chocolate into a colander or salad spinner and gently shake to remove some of the fine grains of chocolate so you're left with mostly the large chunks.
    Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix on low for about 30 seconds. Reserve 15-20 chocolate chunks and gently fold the rest into the mixture until well distributed.
    Using a 4oz scoop or 1/2c measuring cup, scoop cookies onto a small tray, dropping a couple of chocolate chunks into the bottom of the scooper before scooping. Refrigerate for 4-12 hours.
    When you're ready for baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place cookies on two flat, parchment-lined baking sheets. I do 4 cookies per sheet since these are LARGE cookies and need room to spread. Top each cookie with a sprinkle of flakey salt. Bake for around 18 minutes or until edges are golden brown, but soft in the middle.

    Kerrygold is definitely better than Plugra, I find that Plugra has a weird taste sometimes, make sure you get the freshest Plugra that you can find, I sense that it goes rancid on the outsides of the butter very fast! Also, Finlandia to me is the best butter around, unless you can get any real good 84% european style butters (the flat ones used for layer work in baking).
    Also, to anyone reading this comment, USE GUITTARD instead of Ghirardelli, so much better ! Trust me.
    Brown butter cookies are good, but it's not the same as an original Chocolate Chip Cookies with normal butter. You have to really know brown butter cookies taste and prefer it, if not, you may not prefer it over a normal butter cookie recipe. This recipe is great, similar to mine! I prefer no extra egg yolk though.

    I made these the other night, but used my typical toll house chips. Sadly, chips do not have enough substance in a 100 g cookie. It was like they weren’t there. You NEED chunks of chocolate in cookies this large. This is a delicious recipe with crispy edges and soft interior, and less sweet than a toll house cookie.
    Creaming the sugar made a light cookie. What do you change up to make a crispy cookie? Less egg?

    Hey Brian i love making these, they turn out perfect every time. However my wife thinks the actual cookie was a little too sweet. Would you recommend in this case, to reduce the sugars a little bit, and by how much would you reduce the sugars? Thanks!

    • @zvezdoblyat
      @zvezdoblyat Год назад

      Use a chocolate that has less sugar. 75%, 85%, 90%, 100% cacao if you really want to (I love it personally) and it definitely cuts the sugar

  • @CloudfeatherRusticWorks
    @CloudfeatherRusticWorks 3 года назад +3

    A tip for making them in large batches... I refrigerate for an hour in the mixer bowl, then form the cookie balls with the scoop. This allows them to be firm enough to neatly line them up in gallon freezer bags. Once in the bags, I put them in the fridge but leave the back unzipped a little bit, allowing air to dry out the outer shell just a tiny bit.
    Then you can make a few here and there instead of baking the whole batch. I've done this and baked cookies from that batch up to a week and a half after initial mixing. They just get better and better with age.

  • @holen1ne
    @holen1ne 2 года назад

    Ok… theory… creamed brown butter? Is it possible? Can you re-solidify browned butter and then cream it? Or does the science not work once you get all the water out? Would that not make the better bestest cookies if it can be pulled off?

  • @michaelchurchill
    @michaelchurchill Год назад

    Can you replace the sugar with Allulose?

    • @anfello9870
      @anfello9870 Год назад +1

      Yes, you can.. BUT
      1. It will be less sweet, because its sweetness level is about 70% of sugar.
      2. It will taste a bit different, not as delicious as sugar. Not a weird aftertaste, just different.
      For problem no. 1, you can fix it by adding a tiny amount of pure stevia powder (be careful, since stevia is about 300x sweeter than sugar). But stevia itself has bitter aftertaste if you add it too much.
      If you don't want to use stevia, you also can't add more allulose to compensate for the lack of sweetness, as it will change the texture of the cookies. You'll have to adjust other ingredients to get the texture right.
      It's not worth your time and effort to replace the sugar with allulose IMO, unless you have to avoid sugar 100%.

    You can brown the butter, cool it in the fridge or over an ice bath, then cream it like normal. Then you’d get the browned butter flavour (which is the best part in a choc chip cookie, IMO) and the texture you prefer. Win-win.

    I have a couple of ideas. I've hand chopped chocolate for my chocolate chip cookies for a long time, but the thing I do differently is use two or three different kinds of chocolate. I'll use semi-sweet, some bittersweet and a little bit of good quality milk chocolate also. You can reduce the sugar by a little to compensate for the added sugar in the milk chocolate, but I'm talking about an ounce or two at most, 30-55 grams. And good quality milk chocolate not oversweetened chocolate candy.
    Another thing after you firm up the balls of cookie dough in the fridge, you can put them in the freezer. I put them directly in the freezer by placing them on a quarter sheet or plate until they get hard enough to move to a ziplock bag. You can then bake them from frozen without defrosting first, just add a minute or two to the baking time and have fresh cookies whenever you want. You can also leave the dough in the fridge for several days, the flavor develops more. Try it, bake a few the first day and then the rest in two or three days and see if you can tell the difference. It's a great excuse to eat and share cookies.
    I agree with the others. This channel is going to take off. Remember us who were here first! (Okay, not first I found the channel last week but I've baked from it and shared it already)

    Try Guittard chocolate instead of Ghirardelli-- which is just too waxy and thin (a good prepared snacking chocolate, not good for baking & candy making, it's overrated, popular, but not very good). Guittard is more flavorful, richer, great for baking, just more superior. Try the wafers or the super-sized semi-sweet chips.

    SO, I made these, and the moment my chilled dough balls hit the pan, they started melting into a very unflattering puddle. I saved the dough by taking them out before they cooked and splatting the rest onto the pan to create a GIANT cookie. It was really freakin’ good, but I definitely went wrong somewhere.
    Could not creaming the butter and sugar long enough cause this? I don’t have a stand mixer and my handheld one was making it a bit difficult, so I quit a little early. It seemed pretty well combined but I don’t think it was quite there.
    I’m pretty sure I didn’t whip the dough too much, either, but I could’ve without remembering.

    I tried this recipe over the weekend before last and I still daydream about how perfect they tasted. I did some adjustments like 50g of granulated sugar and 150g of brown sugar and they came out to my taste, not overly sweet but still feels like dessert. I also enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to brown my butter as I don't like the fuss.

    I think you’re a good chef and love your show but… this was the worst chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had.
    I followed your recipe to a tee. I even bought that Plugra butter. They looked identical out of the oven . Then I took a bite. Yuck. It was mostly cake and very little chocolate. And I say cake because it didn’t have that traditional cookie consistency. It lacked sweetness and was dry. My friend took one bite and said no more.
    To make them edible I had to add half a bag of semisweet chips to the remaining batter and then flatten them down before cooking so they wouldn’t be so thick. And even then they were only okay.
    I’m worried about your mature palette if you think these are good!

    Made these today and this is my new go-to cookie recipe. Even with some adjustments they were perfect. We don’t have a stand mixer and wanted smaller cookies, here’s what I did:
    -Used hand mixer vs stand mixer, for about half the time as he did on the stand mixer
    -Used light brown sugar vs dark brown (didn’t have dark)
    -Didn’t do the extra chocolate on top, still turned out perfect
    -Only chilled for an hour - the cookies spread a little more than his but not too much (in future I’d chill them for longer)
    -Made them about 2/3 size of his, so they were done in ~15 mins
    These cookies are freakin amazing. Seriously, have tried a bunch of different recipes and this is the best so far.

    • @Soandsoguy
      @Soandsoguy 3 года назад +1

      @@BrianLagerstrom I tried these against the better than... here are my thoughts:
      These are better because they have a little better texture and taste. Both are very sensitive to underbaking or overbaking. One minute over or under and they just weren't exactly right. I found it crucial to watch them carefully and just as they began to lose the wet look on top and brown very slightly, then I'd take them out. I used parchment paper.
      The other recipe used a little corn starch. I could taste that and didn't like it. Both recipes used dark chocolate. I'm not sure that's optimal. It would make sense in a sweeter cookie, but it's slightly over-powering in these. I think a good milk chocolate would let the buttery cookie come through stronger, but I didn't try it. Maybe just semisweet or a mix?
      I added no vanilla. I prefer zero vanilla taste in cc cookies.
      Lastly, I used dark brown sugar, and no refined sugar. I just used the same total amount of sugar and used all dark brown sugar. IMO, dark brown sugar imparts a deep rich flavor that rivals the typical vanilla flavor in most cc cookies.
      Overall, I'd rate these very high as they did produce a decadent, balanced cookie when refrigerated and cooked as prescribed.
      I made quarter cup/2 oz dough balls and they took 12 minutes in my oven at 375 degrees.

    Hey Brian! Love the channel! I have a couple questions for you if you have a second.
    I don’t know a TON about baking, but I do know that brown butter cookies have an excellent taste, though. Could you, theoretically, make brown butter, chill the brown butter to solidify it again, and then cream it with sugar after it’s solidified? Would you even want to make brown butter with such a quality butter, or would that be like making a cocktail with sipping bourbon? Let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks!

    • @BrianLagerstrom
      @BrianLagerstrom  3 года назад +4

      ATK browns then cools so it does work, but I for me it’s added complexity, and when you are using a high quality butter I think it’s best to keep it simple.
      To me it would be similar to roasting flour before you mix into a dough. Could be a fun flavor, but why not make the bread correctly?
      I don’t know maybe someone can change my mind on it I love browned butter

    • @thelazyrabbit4220
      @thelazyrabbit4220 2 года назад +1

      okay so....I am an Indian and all we eat is clarified butter. not brown butter, ikr, but close enough. the solids are separated and usually discarded were in the brown butter you keep. but still, you evaporate almost all of the water, and it's almost impossible to bring back the mil solids into suspension. when our clarified butter freezes it's very very unlike butter, it's very soft and vaseline-like. I don't think it will behave in the same way as butter in creating the air pockets, but while watching the video I was wondering the same thing and maybe wondering about a 50% 50% mix maybe even 80%20%. but still, I don't know how would you address the issue of suspending the brown particles back. maybe adding water back and whipping it? I don know man! definitely will be experimenting.

  • @matthewbottcher34
    @matthewbottcher34 2 года назад +2

    I like to combine the brown butter and creaming butter process. It’s the best combination of flavor and texture. You replace the water lost in the browning process (I add ice cubes until the browned butter reaches the original weight of un-browned butter). Then I let it cool down until it has the texture of softened butter, and you can cream and get the brown butter flavor.
