Claire Saffitz Makes Chocolate Chip Cookies | Dessert Person
What makes the best chocolate chip cookies? In Claire’s opinion, it’s a chewy edge, soft and chewy center, puddles of chocolate (in this case, dark and milk), a healthy amount of salt, and, crucially, lots of butterscotch-y flavor from the interplay of vanilla, brown sugar, and brown butter. That might sound like a lot, but it all comes together easily in a couple of bowls, no stand mixer required. The hardest part is definitely waiting for the dough to chill in the fridge before baking.

I have a friend who now eats a chocolate chip cookie with his morning coffee as a way to celebrate he’s alive. He experienced a lot of loss with covid and it was an anxiety mechanism to cope with feeling blessed to be alive. A small, fresh baked cookie is his way to count his blessings. As we know cookies have been used as a reward, his technique helped him enjoy his favorite treat while feeling blessed to enjoy life. I’m going to share this recipe to add to his list of recipes!

Dear Claire, I’m 70 and I have a little neighbor and her cousin who visit me and I give them treats. Today, I made these cookies. That little girl (8) fell to the ground on her back with her eyes rolling back and said, “These are the BEST cookies I’ve ever had In! My! Life! I’m 70 and felt the same way. Her cousin, who is usually very chatty and in need of much attention, was silent and suddenly said, “Yeah.” I thank you for this precious moment. This recipe is AMAZING. Browned butter fo’ LIFE.

I DON'T want anyone forcing Claire to recreate junk food she has no interest in making better. The biggest difference is that I want to know the kinds of foods that Claire is passionate about, the things she wants to improve or make her own, and the things she has strong memories of but for which she doesn't have a recipe, and how she'd go about adapting those foods and creating new recipes for them in her next cookbook.

The best part is when I finish I have a yummy reward for my efforts; I’m slowly becoming an enviable cook haha. Best of luck on your food journey hope the ED is better now!

[@orboobleck5366]

French Existentialism and cookies. Who knew they go together?

[@MH-kf1xp]

I tried out the recipe and IM IN LOVE ! I’m surprised it’s not too sweet esp with the amount of caster sugar inside the recipe. If you don’t like desserts that are to too sweet, I would say this is perfect for you. The amount of sweetness was just right for me :))

[@payaljagwani7855]

The batter tastes sweet, so I am worried they ll be too sweet. I have put the dough in the fridge now

[@jeremyarnold1979]

Just made these yesterday and bakes them this morning and WOW. They turned out perfect and taste amazing. Thanks for sharing, this is my new favorite cookie recipe.

[@skatteredfate]

Oh wow! I made this recipe from Dessert Person for the first time literally yesterday! I made the cookies with all milk chocolate instead because I have such a sweet tooth. I did wait for the dough to chill for 12 hours before baking and they turned out great! Thanks, Claire!

[@nataliejimenez8273]

I’ve been sort of obsessed with chocolate chip cookies recently, and have been making a lot, so my heart skyrocketed when seeing this! I have your book and I was planning on making yours sometime, so this is great!❤️

[@juliebryndal3504]

Made these this week for a friend’s birthday. They were everything I wanted them to be. Thank you Claire!

[@amandaanderson8423]

These are so far the BEST chocolate chip cookies I've tried. I have experimented with other brown butter recipes but they don't come out as good. The extra step of cooling the butter and heavy cream down to a paste makes a big difference.

[@julespoblano3967]

I’ve been waiting for this episode 😩🙌🏻

[@moyetlicious]

Claire seems like such a genuinely lovely person and I hope she has all the success she deserves with this cookbook, the way it went down with bon appetit was so awful and Claire took such a principled stand she absolutely deserves to be commended. Plus her recipes are excellent :D

[@psch3270]

Just recently found your channel. Have really missed seeing you make food. Will be binge watching and making these cookies. So good to see you in a video again.

[@juliakbrown]

These are yummy. A couple of notes for folks trying these out: (1) If you are used to using the recipe on the back of the Tollhouse chip bag, these are a lot darker in color (due to the browned butter and the dark brown sugar). So don't be fooled into taking them out of the oven too early, or you will have mush. (2) This is probably obvious, but if you're baking them from frozen, rather than just refrigerated, you will need to either bake them longer than the time given in the video, or allow them to come to fridge temp before baking them.

[@michellemuller8358]

Thank you. Mine came out mushy last time so I’m trying again today.

[@frankster428]

They are also darker due to the little bits of chocolate that were chopped into micro pieces and mixed into the batter.

[@maetamonxg7718]

In the video she's baking them frozen, so doesn't that mean that I should put it in for less time if my dough was not frozen? I know it depends on the oven but even at 18 minutes I thought they were getting a little dry

[@TheMom2phoenix]

Just made these (after a weird butter explosion incident I don't want to talk about), and they're amazing. You're totally right about browning the butter, and also letting the dough sit in the fridge for a while!

[@stellam5131]

I’m not able to buy the book, so Claire making some of the recipes is really helping me with becoming more familiar with the dessert land😋

[@London1869]

You can probably waitlist the book at your local library. You may have to wait a few months.

[@asuban]

It was almost impossible to get the hardcover so I bought the kindle edition.

[@camilaborjac]

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried this recipe and failed, cookies were always too cakey. Today I made them again, trying not to beat the butter too much and got perfect results!!! I love your recipes Claire, you’re my inspiration ❤

[@tegsar88]

Thanks Claire, this recipe is wonderful!

[@ChristianneGoudreau]

Thank you! My wife got me your cookbook and I’ve tried making these cookies 3 times, and gotten subpar results. I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong, but I was determined to get them right. Your video was SO HELPFUL. I hadn’t been letting my butter cool enough! I was letting it cool, but it was still completely liquid when I added the other ingredients. I’m so happy I could holler from the roof tops. I now know what I was doing wrong and now I’m going to tackle these suckers again.

[@erincoughlin4187]

Did it work?

[@elysefairchild5111]

OKay, your comment clears up my confusion! Her book doesn't really highlight the need to let the butter cool as much as this video emphasizes that. I'm going to make a second batter and see if there's a difference. I was noticing that my cookies were baking much quicker than 22 minutes. Maybe this is the reason?!

[@vichuey3219]

Same! I feel like this is a CRUCIAL thing to mention in the recipe in the book. Kind of disappointed tbh. It would’ve taken me a while and a few bad batches to come to the conclusion on my own that I need to do an ice bath or let the butter sit to partially re-solidify. My cookies also get darker than any other choc chip cookie I’ve baked and I’m wondering if it’s because of the ingredients or what.

[@merrystokes3443]

When are you adding the heavy cream? While it is still hot or after it has cooled completely ? I’m having trouble with getting the butter to get to her consistency.

[@r0saa13]

@@merrystokes3443 while its hot. also if you want your butter to be the same consistency as hers, you need the ice water bath. in the video she says if you make it ahead and leave it out it will cool which is true, but it wont look the same as hers. hers is like if you whipped up a stick of butter you took out of the fridge 5 minutes ago. i’d say definitely do the ice bath

[@michele6947]

Claire, I made these today. They came out perfect. I love your videos and thank you for making me a better baker :) !

[@anununu2862]

Just tested these yesterday - truly the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever tried. Amazing!

[@Cmonmanny]

I’ve made this recipe like 6 times already within a month. It’s been such a huge hit with friends and cowokers

[@LouisRMichael]

"Challuchip cookie" adorable

[@Emperorerror]

Great video! I would like to hear more of an explanation on why you chose to use heavy cream to add back in water to the butter vs any other option, such as water. In general, I really appreciate that you explain the reasoning behind the steps, but would love a bit more on this one!

[@annieco.]

holy cow. these are the best chocolate cookies ever...certainly the best that I have ever managed to make. The browning of the butter really DOES add a depth of flavor that I could immediately identify. I actually managed to portion the dough and leave it overnight in the fridge. Baked for about 15 min for me perfectly in a gas oven . wow wow wow

[@ameeshavs101]

honestly the best cookies I've ever tasted and made I cannot stop talking about these cookies they the best best ones also i did a little experiment by adding one small spoon of ghees ( clarified butter) and trust me it has the most beautiful rich deep flavour ever thankyou so much Claire

[@SnowyMetalNerdDudeDuffield]

"I haven't had my lunch desert yet" Damn that's a mood

[@rachs57]

No, that's a lifestyle we should all aim for...the (Western) world might be a better place

[@jobell881]

I ordered my book 4 weeks ago it was out of stock. It finally arrived yesterday, I'm gonna get dressed up and read along with this video!! I'm so excited 😁

[@StealthAddict]

Finally made my first dessert person recipe, and I should have done it way sooner! These are by far the most delicious cookies I have ever had.

[@emceeunderdogrising]

I've been trying lots of recipes. Brown butter really works well. The great additions I don't see often are doubling the vanilla and adding cream. I think that really helps the brown sugar and butter.

[@AussieAngeS]

Those cookies look fantastic, I’m definitely going to make these for sure. Thank you Claire you’re the best.

[@sierranevadavideos7151]

The best part of my week is here!! And what an iconic dish today, amazing.

[@ozzygrrrr7657]

Baked them for a second time and the taste is just so good 😊. I love that this recipe is accessible and delicious 🤤. thanks claire truly amazing

[@feliciaalbanese3338]

I can watch Claire bake all day. Good instruction. I’m a late in life baker. Pandemic started I now make no knead bread. Let’s see if these videos get me to make some cookies.

[@nismorg]

Hello Claire, I made the batter yesterday after watching your video. I didn't have any heavy cream so I used evaporated milk. I got about 13 cookies in total from the recipe. The Baking - 350 degrees 6 cookies on a tray (I put the rest in the freezer for next time) 19 minutes in the oven. 30 minute cool-off on the counter. The Results - The cookies are about 5 Inches in diameter. The texture is slightly crispy at the edge, semi soft all around. This is the best final results for me. The previous was Chris from the test kitchen but you out did that one. Thank you, and stay safe.

[@Bellydance1971]

Claire you can do no wrong! Makes me so happy to watch your episodes, even if I don’t bake like you! LOL Cheers from Montreal! I’d love to see you and Sohla do a challenge episode.

[@crowtalk]

Hands down my favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I add additional whole milk powder when I'm browning the butter to amplify the toasted milk solids and it is incredible.

[@gerrimcgrath6878]

How much flour do you add? 🫶

I appreciate it a lot that you put the metric system weights for the ingredients in the description
