And now…Are you ready for some ‘Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies’ that taste out of this world?

Just a few pointers before you start! 🙂

• You must follow the directions to a ‘T’.  I read the comments on Williams Sonoma Taste and some of the issues were flat cookies and too many chocolate chips, so I did decrease the chocolate chips 1/4 cup for this recipe, which are still chocked full of chocolate chips.  Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips. 🙂

• And, secondly to avoid ugly, flat cookies, be sure your butter is room temperature (not melted or even softened), and use a cooler dough vs. warm dough. Just pop it in the refrigerator a bit before baking if it feels warm.

• Chocolate Chip Tips: If you’re in chocoholic mode, go the full 2 1/4 cups of chocolate chips as the recipe calls out.  If you want to tone down the chocolate chips, just use a lesser amount to your liking.  1 1/2 cups is good for those that want chocolate flavor, but not chocolate overload. 🙂

Course Dessert

Cuisine American

Servings 18 large cookies

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour see notes below
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter see notes below, room temperature
• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips I used Ghiradelli semi-sweet. Use less chocolate chips if you want more cookie and not as much chocolate such as 1 1/4 cups to 1 1/2 cups.

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.. (To get best results, use parchment paper)
• In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together.
• In another large bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the butter, and sugars until smooth and mixed together well.
• Add the egg and vanilla and mix on low speed until mixed in.
• Gradually add the flour mixture and mix in until just incorporated. Do not keep mixing - do not overmix.
• Add chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon, again no overmixing, just until incorporated.
• Chill dough if dough is warm.
• Using a small or large ice cream scoop or heaping tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, 6 to 8 per pan, depending on size you are making.
• Bake the cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until the bottoms and edges are lightly browned and the tops feel firm when lightly touched,
• Small cookies bake 8-10 minutes
• Large cookies bake 10-13 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
• Makes  18 -30 cookies depending on size.

Notes

Butter Tips: To avoid flat cookies: Be sure your butter is room temp (not melted or even softened), and try using cold/chilled dough if dough is warm: Just put it in the refrigerator to chill before baking.
Flour Tips: Don't over-mix cookie batter especially after the flour is added and add it gradually.
Make sure your baking soda is not expired.

Chocolate Chip Tips: If you're in chocoholic mode, go the full 2 1/4 cups of chocolate chips as the recipe calls out.  If you want to tone down the chocolate chips, just use a lesser amount to your liking.
