Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 150g (2/3 cup) unsalted butter (if not weighing, melt butter first then measure in liquid measure cup)
- 30g (2 tbsp) cold water
- 100g (1/2 cup) sugar
- 100g (1/2 cup packed) dark brown sugar (light will also work)
- 1 large egg, fridge cold
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt (use 1/2 tsp for table salt)
- 175g (1 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 150g (3/4 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips (sub any chocolate: bitter-sweet or dark chips, chunks, chopped bars, etc)
- Flaky sea salt, for finishing (sub kosher salt, coarse sea salt)
Brown Butter
1. Place butter in a medium stainless teel saucepan. Cook over medium heat, swirling every so often to melt evenly. The butter will start foaming, steaming, and gently popping. This is the water in the butter evaporating.
2. Once the noise quiets down and the foam subsides a little, most of the water has evaporated. At this point, stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pot so that the milk solids do not stick.
3. Keep cooking until you see light brown bits at the bottom of the pan and can clearly smell a deeply buttery and nutty aroma.
4. Turn off heat and immediately add the 2 tbsp cold water to the hot browned butter. The butter will sizzle and steam. Transfer butter to a mixing bowl (metal bowl will help with cooling) and set aside for 5-10 minutes to cool.
Make Dough
1. After the butter has cooled slightly but the bowl is still warm to the touch, add in brown and regular sugar. Whisk to fully combine.
2. Add in egg and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute until the mixture lightens in colour and thickens slightly.
3. Add baking soda and salt. Whisk for 15 seconds to distribute evenly.
4. Add flour to bowl and use spatula to stir and fold until the batter is even and there are no dry patches of flour.
5. Add chocolate chips and fold to distribute evenly.
Shape & Chill
1. Use large #20 cookie scoop to portion into dough balls. If rolling by hand, aim for around golf ball size or 3 tbsp (just under 1/4 cup). The dough will be slightly soft and sticky but still shapeable into rough balls. Use slightly wet hands to help with sticking (but honestly just embrace the stickiness and power through haha). If the dough is too soft to work with, chill for 30 minutes and try again. The recipe makes roughly 12 golf ball sized dough balls (but sometimes I get 11, depending on how much of the cookie dough I snack on).
2. Place all the dough balls close together on a lined cookie sheet. Cover and chill in fridge for 30 minutes minimum, up to 48 hours. The dough can also be frozen. After the balls harden in the fridge, transfer to a freezer bag and keep up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen but add 2-3 minutes to the baking time.
Bake
1. Pre-heat oven to 350F (175C) with rack in the centre.
2. Place max 6 frozen dough balls on one lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle lightly with flaky salt.
3. Bake one tray at a time for 10-12 minutes at 350F. When ready, the outside of the cookies will be lightly browned and crinkly. The centre will be blonde and puffed up.
4. Cool on tray for 5-10 minutes then transfer to wire rack to cool completely before serving.

[@emiliamartucci8291]

If you have been baking this long (like me) you may remember the taste of thee original Mrs Fields cookie - not today’s version which is almost an abomination. Can you tell me if this version gets close to what she did? The only info she gave away was that she baked them at 300. I was living in CA at the time so I enjoyed them at their best. I have travelled a good bit. I have several dear “food memories.” The soft flatbread I would by on my way to school in the morning, my first bite into Scotland’s shortbread and my first taste of Mrs Fields cookie. Debbie, if you ever read this, give us a hint into what you did. Also bring back the original version before you sold the company.

[@Phoenix3391]

Love this recipe! Made it four times now, and here are my thoughts: -don’t be a coward when it comes to browning the butter. There’s a huge range of acceptable browns, and if you’re an anxious baker like me, it’s (probably) not burnt (yet). -I like reducing the sugar by about 20% depending on what I’m mixing in. At the same time, don’t panic if you taste the dough and it’s too sweet. It bakes up less sweet. -if you’re scooping the batter by hand, you’ll probably need to add extra flour. It’s a really soft and sticky dough, and it’s really only workable with a scoop as is. -go hard with the add ins! I’ve done it so far with semisweet, dark, toffee, and walnuts. It’s a really versatile dough, and basically anything tastes good! -you’ll need a double batch. Trust me. Unless you’re a psychopath who follows serving sizes and/or is satisfied with a single cookie. -a few good slams when they come out of the oven really helps the crinkles!

These cookies are RIDICULOUSLY good! I've been on a baking spree for a few weeks now (!), have made different styles of cookies, pies and cakes and these are hands down, by far the best thing I've eaten. I'm talking cheese cake too! I just ate 5 large cookies and even when I was finishing the last one I was still making mhmmm noises and just couldn't believe how good these are. Mine came out very dark brownish, not only after baking but the same goes for the cookie dough. Don't forget to sprinkle the flaky sea salt on top, it's a must! Consider a 10 minute freezer rest if you really can't wait and definitely make sure you have cold milk! Thank you very much.

[@sallyhu5028]

Thank you for the recipe! Decided to make the cookies at the last minute for a family event today. A total, runaway hit. Don't have dark brown sugar in the house ... have always just added a bit of molasses for the darker color and deeper flavor. Unfortunately, it was probably the additional liquid of the molasses that made the dough very wet. Impossible to form and turn the dough. So just doled out by hand what looked to be approximate 3-tablespoon mounds. The dough was firm and easy to shape after the minimum 30 minutes in the fridge, though. Skipped the additional salt ... good decision as the result had just enough of the sea salt balanced against the sweetness to make it amazing. Think the additional salt would make the cookies a bit too salty. Next time, will chill the dough for a few minutes before forming the cookies. Then continue chilling. Was going to add nuts in the batch today but didn't have time. Will add salted cashew next time. Thinking this recipe will also be great baked in a square pan and cut into squares like fudge brownies. So many ways to experiment with this awesome, easy recipe. So exciting ... just subscribed!

i’ve made these cookies more than a dozen times now (i had a bake sale) and my goodness they are the most delicious cookies i’ve ever made. i did make some adjustments based on my own preferences (reducing the sugar to 75g of brown sugar and 75g of white sugar) while also swapping chocolate chips for chopped chocolate. one thing anyone making this recipe should be aware of is that the 30 minutes in the fridge should be strictly followed, and make sure to put the rest of your dough back in the fridge while your first batch is baking, because i didn’t and ended up with cookies that spread a bit too much even though they were on my counter for 10 minutes tops. the texture of your cookie changes drastically depending on the time it was in the fridge. all in all, thank you sheldo for your amazing recipe. all the cookies sold out at the bake sale thanks to your help!

One of them I was able to save at a point before it turned to a sugar cement block so I looked for something to use the browned butter, sugar and all those chocolate chips and almond for. No way was I going to go for three attempts! These cookies are so yummy! Because I had a full cup of white sugar with a cup of browned butter, rather than add brown sugar, I added molasses. I don't know how much it was as I just kept smelling as the food processor whipped the heck out of the separated browned butter and sugar. Maybe a third cup? Anyway, you have saved at least half the failures in a way that is an absolute win. Thank you... and I will absolutely make these again!

YES DO IT. Once you try it, you won’t be able to make cookies without browning the butter. Just remember if you’re converting a regular butter cookie to browned butter, you need to add water to the browned butter. 20% of the original weight of the butter, or about 3 tbsp of water per cup of butter!

I was randomly looking for a chocolate chip biscuit ( cookie) recipe. This one caught my eye bc it looked like some complicated mess. Of course, I have to try. I can tell you that it is one of the best choc chip biscuits I have ever made ,& I have made many over the yrs! They are easy to make & the taste is absolutely delicious!! Melting that butter exactly how you have said is what makes this such a superior biscuits to any other one that I have tried. Thank you, this is definitely my favourite. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
