Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

I have been on a search for the perfect Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. I have tested so many different recipes and none of them delivered what they promised. My husband is an EXTREME fussy cookie critic and if the cookie does not meet his desired approval it will rot before he eats it. Trust me when I say after 17 years of marriage there has been several eye rollings and not so pleasant words exchanged between us over the issue of ( in his opinion) not so good cookies.

Last night I found a Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe on Food Network from Alton Brown. I decided to whip out my KitchenAid mixer and whirl up a batch. They turned out exactly as the recipe promised…chewy delicious! They met the in home cookie critic expectations and he LOVED them.

Recipe has been borrowed from Food Network…

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 2 1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Hardware:

  • Ice cream scooper (#20 disher, to be exact)
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheets
  • Mixer

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

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.

    Hi Peggy,

    You can substitute the bread flour for all purpose flour but the result will differ some. The bread flour helps give the cookie the chewy consistency.

    Thanks for asking and happy baking!!
