Chocolate Chip Cookies

Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies have crisp edges with a gooey center. Excellent for dipping in a glass of cold milk.

If you prefer a tender (like cake) texture, the helpful tips are in my recipe.

HOW TO PREPARE ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR FOR RECIPE

 If flour is NOT properly prepared, it will be too much.  As a result, the Chocolate Chip Cookies will be thick and dry with a very bad taste.   

This recipe calls for 2-1/4 cups of all-purpose flour.  To obtain the best cookies, be sure to sift, spoon and level BEFORE using.

HOW TO SIFT, SPOON AND LEVEL FLOUR

Place a sifter over a bowl or plate.  Pour in 2-1/2 cups of flour into a hand sifter.  This is more than recipe calls for.   

Sift all of flour.  Discard hard particles remaining in sifter.

Gently spoon a tall heap of flour into the measuring cup. 

Level off with smooth end of knife. 

Repeat until you have 2-1/4 cups of flour for the recipe.  

Return leftover flour to the bag or container.

THE CHOCOLATE MORSELS

This recipe calls for 2 cups of chocolate morsels, same as a 12-ounce package.  The brand I use (pictured) has no artificial flavors or colors, no preservatives and the morsels are gluten free.  Found this helpful info on the back of the package.  NOT a paid endorsement.

Keep packaged chocolate morsels away from young children.  Their hard and small which may be difficult to for them to swallow.  

 

QUALITY TIP

Store morsels in a cool, dry place (60-70 degrees F).  Heat and humidity can cause a whitish appearance on the morsels.  This natural reaction is called bloom.  Thankfully, it disappears when melted and does not affect the flavor and quality. 

 

HOW TO MAKE A CHEWY COOKIE

The key to a chewy cookie, is to thoroughly chill the dough before baking. 

If the dough is NOT chilled before serving, the baked cookies will turn golden brown and have a soft, cake-like texture.

After preparing dough, cover bowl.  Refrigerate for 4 hours up to overnight before baking to firmly chill. 

I like to roll the dough into a log and cover with plastic wrap before placing in fridge.   

After preparing dough, cover bowl.  Refrigerate for 4 hours up to overnight before baking. Chilled dough is perfect for making soft, chewy cookies. 

Remove chilled dough from fridge. Scoop with a large spoon and arrange on ungreased cookie sheet.  

Bake 8 to 10 minutes in a preheated oven (375 degrees F). 

Since oven temps vary, baking time may also vary.  Watch closely to prevent burning.

Bake until edges turn golden brown and chocolate morsels have melted.  Cookies will look like they’re not done.  Cool in pan 2 minutes.  Remove and continue cooling on a rack.
