Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe #201955 | 30 min | 10 min prep | add private note

I had been looking for the perfect chocolate chip cookie and found this recipe. The cookies baked up perfectly and tasted so good! I got it from America's Test Kitchen (Cook's Illustrated). Hope you like them as much as I do!

25 -35 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oven to 325 degrees. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.
  2. 2
    Either by hand or with electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in egg, yolk, and vanilla.
  3. 3
    Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Stir in chips.
  4. 4
    Using #40 cookie scoop (or rounded tablespoon) drop dough onto ungreased baking sheet.
  5. 5
    Bake, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking, until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft and puffy, about 13-15 minutes.(Frozen dough requires an extra 1 to 2 minutes baking time.) Cool cookies on cookie sheets.
  6. 6
    Dough can be refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen up to 1 month—shaped or not.

These were yummy. I used the variation suggested by America's Test Kitchen with 1/2 c choc chips, 1/2 c white chips, and 1 c chopped pecans. We did think they spread a little too much, so we'll make again with parchment paper on the baking sheet to see if that helps.

    These worked well. I don't even like chocolate chip cookies and these were wonderful. I always love Cook's Illustrated so I needed to try these and I'm glad I did. They live up to their claim of thick and chewy plus I would add yummy. Thanks for posting.

    These cookies are perfect!Just the right amount of chewiness! I used unsalted cultured butter instead (never send a man to the grocery store for baking items). I don't know if that made any difference to the taste, but they taste great. They bake exactly as stated in the recipe, they're ready when the outer edges are starting to harden, and the centers are soft and puffy. By the way, if you don't buy the butter in sticks, and just in a block, 12 tablespoons is 3/4 of a cup as 4 tablespoons is 1/4 of a cup. Thanks for the great recipe, this one is going in my recipe box.

    This is a terrific choco chip cookie recipe! I store mine in an air tight container, and they are even softer and chewier the next day. Thank you!
