Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Submitted by patsacookn on August 12, 2003 at 4:08 am
This is the exact recipe Alton Brown did on his show, Good Eats. If you love a soft chocolate chip cookie, these are to die for! I can never keep them around long and there's only two of us at home! Enjoy!
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 ¼ cups bread flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 ¼ cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Hardware:
Ice cream scooper (#20 disher, to be exact) (I believe this is the same as those labeled "cookie scoops" that you'll find in many stores)
Parchment paper
Baking sheets
Mixer
Heat oven to 375F.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
Pour the melted butter in the mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Chill the dough, then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Yield: 2 ½ dozen cookies
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
