Soft Chocolate Chip (or not) Cookies
-
This a good recipe that is also very quick. I've made these dozens of times. No pics because they're already gone... We also love them plain, no chocolate chips. This makes soft cookies because I don't hate myself. If you want hardened steel discs I can't AND won't help you.
Minor changes from this:
https://pinchofyum.com/the-best-soft-chocolate-chip-cookies#tasty-recipes-392138 tablespoons of unsalted butter (or use salted, I'm not your cardiologist)
1/2 cup raw cane sugar (for texture, sub plain white if you're boring)
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar (sub light if you hate molasses)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (start here if standard flour, for GF this is max but usually ~1 3/8 cups)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chocolate chip and chunks mixed (or one or the other or none)Use a mixer if you want, but I do it with a whisk.
Melt butter, mix with sugars until creamy. Incorporate egg and vanilla. DO NOT OVER MIX THE EGG. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. It should make a dough ball that's damp, not wet or dry. Add flour if needed if it's too wet. Fold in chocolate chips/chunks now with a spatula or use your hands you animal. Make 12 large cookies (small cookies are stupid, let's be serious here) and put them on a non-stick pan.
Bake 9-11min @ 350F on non-stick, 325F if using convection. Eat all 'em because that is what is going to happen, don't lie to yourself.

That's for soft cookies, right? Not cement?
-
All I need is some chocolate chips and probably some vanilla extract. That stuff sure is expensive.
-
I'd like to also add that little bit of instant coffee is a lovely addition. Made some last weekend.

Yup, I'll edit to throw that in there.

I'll probably make these tonight, though I love salty chocolate chip cookies so I'm gonna add more salt. Thanks for the recipe!

@looseonexit I'm usually pro butter in any of my foods, but the missus makes cookies with crisco instead of butter (butter flavored crisco). They come out almost tasting like warm raw cookie dough: soft and delicious. You can leave them out for weeks and theyll still be soft. Although they never last longer than a few days
-
@looseonexit let's have a cookie-off:
*1 stick butter, softened
*1/2 cup Crisco
*¾ cup granulated white sugar
*¾ cup packed brown sugar
*¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
*2 large eggs
*2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
*1 teaspoon baking soda
*1 teaspoon salt
*2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips- Preheat oven to 375°F, or 350°F if you want chewy cookies.
- Cream butter, Crisco, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixer bowl.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating until fully incorporated.
- Add vanilla extract and beat in.
- In a small bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (except chocolate). Fold into the wet mixture. If you beat this too long, you may get some gluten formation which will change the cookie texture.
- Stir in chocolate morsels
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for about 1 minute and remove from hot baking sheet to cool on a wire rack.

Mrs Twowheels is making her own vanilla extract these days. Just need vodka and vanilla beans.
-
@onlytwowheels said in Soft Chocolate Chip (or not) Cookies:
vanilla beans
I'll try that. I could use some Vodka
-
@brickman
Takes 2 months to make a batch, but the beans are reusable indefinitely. Mrs Twowheels makes multiple bottles at a time. -
