The Ultimate Soft Baked Cookie Recipe

I love chocolate chip cookies but I like them thick and soft baked. I spent a lot of time kitchen testing for the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe. I think I nailed it with this one. Along the way, I found out that with this cookie recipe, I can use the same cookie base to make different kinds of cookies. In this tutorial, I am showing you 10 different cookie variations that you can make using the same cookie base. Cookies are wonderful gifts to give and share for all occasions. They are easy and quick to make, they do not require expensive equipments, they can be kept at room temperature in a covered container and they can stored to be eaten at a later date. To be able to get that thick soft baked cookie, please follow the chef's notes below. I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I do. They will make perfect gifts for Christmas!
Chef's Notes:
1. I start mixing with cold but not rock-hard butter, then you do not need to chill the cookie dough after mixing.
2. After creaming the butter, sugar and eggs - mix in the flour only until they are blended. Do not overmix. You do not want hard or tough cookies.
3. You need to measure at least 1/4 cup cookie batter per cookie. You can not make soft baked cookies with very little cookie dough.
4. Bake at a high temperature for a short period of time (400F between 13 - 18 minutes depending on your oven and the size of your cookies).
5. Use double pans so the bottoms of the cookies will not burn.
6. After you take the cookies out of the oven, let them sit on the baking sheet for about 5 - 10 minutes before you transfer them to cooling racks so they will continue to bake.
7. Before you start scooping out the cookie dough, bake one cookie first to see if you like the way it spreads. If it spreads too much, chill for 30. minutes.
8. You can prepare the cookie dough, form them into balls and freeze them. Thaw and bake when ready to bake.
9. The amount of ingredients you add like chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles, raisins are variable depending on how much you want to put in. I personally like my cookies loaded :)
10. Here are the weights of the ingredients in grams:
450 grams butter
400 grams brown sugar
200 grams white sugar
200 grams eggs
30 grams vanilla
10 grams baking soda
5 grams salt
12 grams cornstarch
75 grams glucose or light corn syrup
625 grams all purpose flour

Chef pwede po bang brown sugar lahat? If ever, anong measurement?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

If you use all brown sugar, the cookies will taste differently and will have a different texture from my original recipe. But if you prefer that, then you can use all brown sugar. Sorry for the late reply. After the typhoon, our internet has not been fully restored yet.

[@bitnik0525]

Just add 2 - 4 tbsp. matcha powder to the full recipe (quantity actually depends on the strength of your matcha tea powder).
