Chewy
Well, we’re still looking for the ULTIMATE chewy chocolate chip cookie — but this one is a worthy contender. We feel that, with a bit shorter baking time, these might become even chewier. A normal-thickness (3/8-inch) cookie, these have a smooth surface, and brown evenly. Our taste-testers’ comments: “Great combo of crisp edge and chewy center.” “Very good, why did the chips spread out so much?” Answer: If you use our bittersweet chips, or other “atypical” baking chips, they may not contain as much lecithin, which is the natural ingredient in “standard” chocolate chips that keeps them from melting at baking temperature.
1 cup (2 sticks, 8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups (8 3/4 ounces) brown sugar, fairly firmly packed, light or dark
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups (9 1/2 ounces) unbleached bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups (12 ounces) chocolate chips
Melt the butter in a microwave, or in a saucepan set over low heat. (Obviously, the butter doesn’t have to be at room temperature for this one.) Mix the melted butter with the sugars, and proceed with the recipe as directed in Kiera’s Standby cookies, adding the milk to the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Bake the cookies in a preheated 375°F oven for 13 to 15 minutes, till they’re an even light brown.Yield: about 18 cookies, 4 to 4 1/4 inches in diameter.
