Here is what you'll need!
The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Servings: 12
INGREDIENTS
½ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
4 ounces milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
4 ounces dark chocolate chunks (or your preference)
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste has formed with no lumps.
Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk.
Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula, being careful not to overmix too much. This will cause the gluten in the flour to toughen which will result in cakier cookies.
Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches of space between cookies and 2 inches of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
Cool completely, and enjoy!

¾ Brown Sugar (150g)
1 tsp salt
½ cup butter (Melted) (120g)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1¼ cup Plain Flour/All Purpose Flour (160g)
1/2 tsp Baking Soda/Bicarbonate of Soda
4 oz Dark Chocolate Chunks (110g)
4 oz Milk Chocolate Chunks (110g)
Method:
In a bowl, beat together the white sugar, brown sugar, Melted butter and salt.
Mix that and crack in 1 egg and add the vanilla extract. Mix that in as well.
Sift together the flour and Baking Soda/Bicarbonate of Soda and again, mix that in. Add the chocolate chunks and mix them in until fully incorporated.
Cover the dough with cling film/plastic wrap and let it chill for 1 hour or even better, overnight.
Scoop the cookies with an ice cream scoop and put them on a greased baking tray. Put them in the oven at 180°C/350°F for 10 - 15 minutes.
Transfer onto a wire rack and let them cool for 10 minutes.
Enjoy! ♥ ❤️💖💕💞💓
Edit: Holy cow that's a lot of likes, (ten thousand)
Edit 2: Yes I know it is in the description but the description didn't convert it into grams.
Edit 3: USE DARK BROWN SUGAR

If anyone isnt getting the results promised in th vid, heres some tips cuz when I did this it turned out right
1. DONT USE AN ELECTRIC MIXER it puts u at high risk of overmixing which will give u a cakey cookie. use a wisk and spatula, Its not too hard it not alot of batter.
2. Let your melted butter cool before u mix it into the batter. Not letting it cool wont let the cookie spread as much.
3. Use dark brown sugar, not light brown. More flavour and the cookie just comes out better than ligh brown. I tried it both ways.
4. Eat them as soon as possible. Theyre best when theyre warm. theyre still good cold but not as good.
5. Use an ice cream scoop like the vid. u could use ur hands but it wont be accurate. Also dont make the cookies too small. Theyll overcook in the center when the outside isnt brown yet.
6. Use some good chocolate. Trust me its worth it. The cheap stuff doesnt actually melt in the oven. Im not chocolate expert but usually if you hold it in your hands and they start melting its good chocolate. The cheap stuff will give you hard overly sweet weird tasting chunks of chocolate. It wont give the smooth velvety rich pockets of chocolate u see in the video. The cheap stuff wont affect your actuall cookie dough but it just wont give you an exact result the video shows.
If you have any more problems just leave em in replies and ill try to answer them. im no baking expert, just a 13 year old who loves cooking and baking and trying random recipes so if i cant answer your question im sorry but if anyone of you guys see a question you can answer, feel free to do me a favour. Cheers!
Thanks, I'm making these cookies today so I'll follow the steps.
@@deborahwannore5589 ooo yes also make sure u rest the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hrs. scoop em first tho its hard to scoop a rock sold block of batter. other than that good luck im sure theyll urn out great :)
@@thelambsaucee ok I will, but my the fridge. night not have any room, so what will have if I don't scoop it first.
@@deborahwannore5589 nothing ur cookies will still be good its just hard to scoop
Is this why mine keep burning outside and raw on the center?
I just think it’s so cute how someone out there is making these cookies right now and so am I. We’re baking together and we don’t even know it. :)
🥺💖
ikr🥺🥺🥺
this is so cute wtf
Aww ( ⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎ )
Making them right now ❤️
Tried the recipe, it’s very good especially when just out of the oven. Honestly the best chocolate chip cookie I ever tried. Crunchy outside and soft inside. I did few adjustments based on others’ reviews.
1. Yes, cool down the butter before pouring in.
2. I changed to 1/4 cup white sugar and 2/4 cup brown sugar, turns out still a tiny bit sweet and perfect with a cup of tea. May cut down a little bit more sugar next time.
3. 1/2 tsp salt, perfect
4. I chilled the dough overnight
5. Baked for 10 mins when edges are lightly browned. For sure no need of 15 mins
6. Cool down for around 5 mins and enjoy !
hey, what temperature did you preheat it to?
How long should we cool the butter down for?
Hi... Should i turn on the upper rod only or the lower rod of oven? Or both? Im just scared that my cookies will turn like a harden stone again😭
Thank u
Guys HUGE advice : you HAVE to let the butter cool before adding it to your sugars and salt. Trust me, it's gonna save your cookies from turning out completely flat
Uhh i didn't do that...
Awww man
this!!! I made my first cookies without cooling the butter and they turned out pretty greasy lol
I warmed up my butter in the microwave so it wasn't hot. My cookies came out delicious!
How big your cup?
I love how the comment sections is giving advise instructions and converting.
That's Tasty fans for you
@@Randomela period sis 😌✨💅
Yeah! :) Wonderful!
For real it's so humble😭
me 2
I’m making these during quarantine and seeing other people’s comment, “any one baking these during quarantine?” makes me so happy :)
Vivian 30 do you know how long they can be in the fridge for?
Raul Garcia it says in the description box at least 30 mins but the longer it’s chilled the more flavour you get out of it
Maria Evie ok thank you!
How long u chill for
24-36 hours they said in another vid
Don’t you just love the cooking/baking community? Everyone is so helpful 🤗
for everyone confused who's confused
baking soda - s for spreads whatever you're baking
baking powder - p for puffs whatever you're baking
Whoahhhh mind blown, thanks!!!! Haha
Did you get that from kitchen conundrums?
Not really true baking soda has 4x rising power than baking powder so
Thx luv uuuu
Daniel Karlsson gurl stop being a smart ass and just agree with them
to spare my fellow metric people the conversion-trouble:
100g sugar
165g brown sugar
1 tsp salt
125ml/ 105g melted butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
160g flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
115g milk chocolate chunks
115g dark chocolate chunks
(note: I rounded the measurements to end with either a 0 or a 5 so there's mild inaccuracies, I have also never tested the recipe before so I can't guarantee that they'll turn out well)
edit: I've been informed that these measurements are inaccurate (but considering that cup measurements are incredibly inaccurate anyways it shouldn't really make a difference). Proceed at your own risk.
Kathi B god bless your soul
I'm pretty sure it's not 115 grams of each chocolate, that would be too much! Don't you think it's 115 grams of milk AND dark chocolate mixed together?
@Regi Agatha No, I just checked and it is 115 grams of each (well, 113 grams, but close enough). It does seem like a lot of chocolate for just 12 cookies but I guess you can reduce it to your taste?
Kathi B god bless your generous soul ilu
WARNING THESE CONVERSIONS ARE COMPLETELY INCORRECT. Pull up a conversion table and check it... he's out by 10 - 50 grams in a lot of places. Crazy how you'd post this, and it not be accurate. Hope you're trolling otherwise you're just a piece of shit.
ULTIMATE TIP:
*COOL THE BUTTER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEFORE ADDING IT IN.. HELPS A LOT WITH HOW THE FLOUR TURNS OUT
*BEFORE BAKING THIS, REFRIGERATE
THE DOUGH FOR ATLEAST TWO HOURS, IT MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
HOPE YOUR COOKIE TURNS OUT SMASHIN'.. STAY SAFE
So do I put the melted butter back in the fridge again?? And do i cool the dough before separating them jn individual cookies or just in their bowl. Thank you so much already❤❤
@@humblebeedumbledore7603 I personally prefer scooping it before refrigerating that way you wont have a hard time to scooping hard dough. Am not sure about the butter tho 😊
It didn't turn out like this.
It's too sweet.
My cookies better slap after doing this tip
For those who are using grams
100 grams white sugar
90 grams brown sugar
5 grams salt
113 grams melted butter
1 egg
4.2 grams vanilla extract
150 grams all purpose flour
2 grams baking soda
1/2 cup milk chocolate
1/2 cup dark chocolate
LMAO you were doing so well, but then you wrote chocolate quantity in cups?!?!?
@@AJD... u got a conversion too grams too match this guys quantities ? Lol
@@TheBulldog1909 brother even Google translate can't help me understand what you're saying.
apologies, I was just saying do you know what the cups of chocolate for the above comment weigh in grams
@@TheBulldog1909 idk what that guys on about I could understand you fine
Hello! I made this recipe and for anyone looking for suggestions, I recommend making these adjustments.
-1/4 cup of sugar instead of 1/2 cup
-Only 1/2 tsp of salt
-Do small balls, they expand A LOT
-Only bake for 10-12 minutes
Also if you're making a double batch, use a bit more flour.
Jbeanery use unsalted butter
Sierra S I did but it still tasted a bit salty to me
Jbeanery then use less salt
jbeanery bigger cookies better
How many did the dough make?
For all those of you who don't measure in cups.
Ingredients:
100g granulated sugar
130g brown sugar
4g salt
115g butter
1 egg
4g vanilla extract
155g all-purpose flour
2g baking soda
112g milk chocolate
112g dark chocolate
Enjoy!
That's actually so useful, thanks you! 🥺🌸💗
Thank u so muchhhh
Hey just a lil thought I think the brown sugar must be 130g..as its not possible for 1/2 cup of white sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar to weigh the same..
woah thank you sm ! 💗
Hero… Absolute Hero!
Just tried this recipe and it worked perfect.
Couple tips:
-cool the butter down before adding it to the sugar (it must still be melted but not be bubbling or fairly hot, warm is fine)
- shape the cookies as evenly as possible, I didn’t have the ice cream scoop and used my hands and they still turned out amazing
-you don’t need to bake them upto 15 mins that’s too much time and they won’t be as chewy or soft, once you initially take them out it may seem they are undercooked but let them cool for 10 mins and if the cookie retains its shape it’s good takes around 10-13 mins (size depends)
Oh thx for the tips I'm trying it out now
Wish me luck 🤞 🤞😃
hi! did you preheat your oven? what temperature and how many minutes did it take to preheat?
can I ask? Do you melted the butter first then measuring it to 1/2 cup or instead?
Hey how many cookies did this recipe make
hello! since they took longer to shape using hands rather than using an ice cream scoop, did you put them back in the fridge again before baking? Thank you in advance!
I tried this recipe and i got to tell you it is truly amazing. I recommend using dark brown sugar instead of brown sugar (adds more flavour) but if you don't want to that's fine
Can you like tell me what can I use instead of egg in this same recipe?
@@Yuki.21Greek Yogurt
How long does It stay chewy for?
@@macandchez3684 actually you dont need to bake all the dough at once, also letting the dough chill for like 1 day makes the flavour intensify.
@@madi.._499that’s great but I’m impatient ☠️
First time I see in the comments such supporting ways to help each other out for baking cookies 🥺 Thank you

Can I use oil instead of butter
@@orangecat982 cream cheese or cold refined coconut oil should be fine.
@@kaliannasmith726 I don’t have them either 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔🍪
I tried these out yesterday and these were the best cookies I ever made. I’m only 11 so I needed something simple and this worked. My family said this is the best thing I ever made and said they tasted like store bought ones. And they were really easy to make. I suggest that everybody tries to make these and thank you tasty!
Edit: what I mean by store bought is those soft cookies you get at bakery’s or Safeway. Not like chips ahoy.
Ok they listen they do not taste store bought like what in the world
It makes no sense
@Jenny Arroyo yesss, they taste so much better!
does yours turned out sticky?
Praise Dionisio
No but I did have to put it for a little longer than what they recommended but I thought that was just my oven because I have to put it in the oven for longer than what the recipes almost every time.
Anyone else in quarantine trying to make this?

@@noellewagner3978 nicee let me know how they come out ♥️
absolutely 🙋🏻♀️💗🍪
Yup
legit just did this 3 hrs ago
this has been my go to recipe for years and all my friends love me for it. i personally use sunflower oil bc its a lot cheaper than butter for me and it still comes out amazing
Isn't sunflower oil unhealthy.
@@davidharrow9025so is butter... ur point is??
@@davidharrow9025 No way you said that under a chocolate chip cookie recipe
hey!
I don't have any brown sugar:(
is there any way that there's a replacement for it?
like add more white sugar or honey or something?
And will it make a difference?
This recipe needs adjustment, for example:
*it was waaayyyyyy toooo sweet
*it got burnt
*the middle part is the only edible part
How to fix it?:
-use 1/4 cup of white sugar instead of 1/2
-let in fridge for an hour, that should do the job
- bake for 9-12 minutes at *maximum*
-try using something like a spoon (if you dont have an icecream scoop), to divide the dough to equal/perfectly shaped cookies, so that they cook evenly.
Other than that, this was a really good recipe, a nice day! 💓
If I do those changes will it still be soft? (chewy)
Cloey Fox yep, the main reason i wrote this comment is to fix the recipe a bit in order to make the cookies softer and chewier ♥️
i dont think you know what "netflix and chill" actually means
Luis Vargas i know what it means, lmao, im being freaky 😂👅
I had the exact problems you described. I followed your advice but they are still kind of burnt at the edges and middle part was the only edible part. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I completely skip white sugar and compensate with brown sugar, might that be the problem?
I love this, but I tweaked the recipe a bit! BuzzFeed's recipe is TOO SWEET. If you want a really chewy cookie, follow these steps:
1. Melt the butter but make sure you don't incorporate it in the mixture hot. It should be room temp.
2. Mix butter, w&b sugar, and salt THOROUGHLY. Don't just mix it for a little while.
3. Use only 1/4 cup white sugar. Use 3/4 cup brown sugar but DO NOT pack it. You don't need too much sugar, trust me.
4. 110g milk chocolate and 110g dark chocolate is already too much imo. You can lessen them if you like.
5. If the dough looks too wet or if it doesn't look the same as the video, DO NOT WORRY. Just put it in the fridge/freezer and you're all set.
6. Lastly, bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes. 12 mins is the perfect baking time for these cookies FOR ME but it depends on your oven. Do not eat them immediately, wait for 1-2 hrs so they'd get chewy.
Addtl tip: add a small slice of bread in your container when keeping the cookies in storage to preserve chewiness and softness. If you do not do this, your cookies will harden and will get crunchy.
EDIT: I cannot stress this enough but DO NOT overfold your dough. It will turn out CAKEY and soft instead of chewy.
L Hunt thank you so much! This is really helpful- of all the times I’ve made cookies with this recipe it seems like there’s something lacking. I just made the batter with these alterations with almonds and pumpkin seeds, and I’m hoping that they’ll turn out well! Again, you have no idea how helpful your comment was :)
@@crochetinggramma6088 how'd they turn out?
@@crochetinggramma6088 have you made them? Just make sure to not overfold the dough! It's important not to! :D
@@Kayhrl Have you made them again? I hope they turned out great. Do not overfold your though however as it will turn out cakey instead of chewy.
@@rinal7772 i want to make it but i dont have vanilla at home . is it important
pls write back i want to make it today
SOOOOO, am I the only person who didn't have to change the recipe, because when I made them, I followed every measurement and every step exactly and they came out the be SUPER good
I made a them and a think I put to much salt. 😂😂
Maybe it depends on the oven or for how long you leav them in the oven🤷♀️
I didn’t have to change anything either😭
I didn’t change it
Me neither, I only had to add a lil more flour, but that was probably my fault
I’ve been making these for a couple months now and they’ve been turning out alright! I have substituted the baking soda with baking powder, and chocolate chunks with chocolate chips. The recipe still turns out fine (apart from just one or two cookies not baking completely, but it sorta helps making it soft and chewy) and I would recommend this recipe!!
Definitely try chocolate chunks instead of chips
OMG, you make it the exact same way I do.😮
*TO ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO MAKE THIS:*
So, this was my first time baking from scratch, and I've got to say...these cookies are REALLY good! Based on previous comments, I decided to cut down the white sugar by 1/4 cup and the salt by 1/2 teaspoon. This made a huge difference overall, affecting the cookie in a good way, however, I suggest only 1/4 teaspoon of salt since it was sort of salty. For chocolate, I used 60% Swiss Chocolate which made a big difference since it balanced out the sweetness between the cookie and the chocolate. If I had gone for milk chocolate, it would have been just a mouthful of sugar. As I've noticed, there are a lot of people in the comments stating that their cookie dough was sticky/more on liquidy side. Although my cookie dough was pretty much formed, I still decided to add 1/8 cup of flour just to get the right consistency; I put the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes which somewhat stiffened it, but not by a lot. I used a tablespoon to scoop out my cookie dough and stuck it in the oven to bake at 250-300 F for 8-10 minutes and they turned out delicious!
in other words, dislike the video, and find a real recipe,
Oh my god, they’re trying to help, Jesus Christ
It is way to salty even when i used unsalted butter.
Thank you!!
Well I'm going to bake them now :)
GUYS!!! I make these sooooo often now and I have to say, this is one of the best recipes I’ve ever used in my life. Here are some better ratios for a (in my opinion) better cookie!
Change the 1/2 cup sugar to 1/3 cup
Add extra brown sugar (3-4 tbs)
Take away 3 tablespoons of flour amd replace with cocoa powder
These are easy changes but in my opinion, make the cookie taste so much better
So, how would it be in grams?
kwstas lungu google
@@asy0ulikeit instagram
I made these yesterday and they were a hit! I followed the recipe exactly except I did NOT bake for 12-15 minutes. 10-12 minutes MAX on this recipe or they will burn! Don't freak out if the middle is super soft when you take them out, they will rest and make for an ooey-gooey melty chocolate chip cookie.
PS: No need for chocolate chunks, semi-sweet chocolate chips are perfect!
Gaby Martinez How much semi-sweet chocolate chips did you use??
i mix both dark chocolate chunks and semi-sweet choco chips..once, i used choco chips only but my friend told me that she liked the melting chocolate chunks way way better!
I used semi-sweet chocolate chips🤣there chilling right now.
Oven temp?

Thank you so much for this recipe, exactly what I've been looking for. It was a bit too soft for me so I added an extra 1/4 cup of flour and reduced the white sugar to 1/4 cup and it came out perfect!
For anyone about to try this - freezing the batter really makes a difference!

I tried this recipe today and it was a success!
I modified the recipe from suggestions on other comments and this was my final result:
¼ cup sugar - lowered the sugar, by now if you are reading the comments, you probably know that this recipe is WAY too sweet.
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ teaspoon salt - lowered the salt a bit but it’s optional. Didn’t make much of a difference.
¾ teaspoon of ground coffee/espresso powder - optional flavor booster, I used ground coffee because I didn’t have any espresso powder. I baked with only ¾ teaspoon of ground coffee but I think I could have used more.
½ cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup of chocolate chips or 6 oz equivalent of chocolate chunks - lowered the chocolate just to combat that extra sweetness. I used only chocolate chips but next time I will mix it up with chunks.
I baked for 12 minutes and the average cookie sizes were around 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches. The bottom of the cookies were slightly crunchy and the insides were very chewy. Overall, it was hella fantastic!!!
Hi is ur chocolate chips semi sweet or normal?
@@TheKing-ob7rx I used semi sweet chocolate chips but you can use normal if you want
Hii thanks for the advice! Quick question, when you add the melted butter what temperature should it be at? Hot, warm, cold or room temperature?
@@vitamin_c7113 I am not sure that it matters as long as the butter is melted but it was warm when I added it into the batch

Same and idk why
Bc I'm ✨d u m b✨
Yeah probaly
Same everytime I add the flour it’s still so caramely and not like a proper dry dough shown in the vid
I added the browned butter to the sugar mixture and mixed it with everything else immediately. You could tell after it’s all said and done they wouldn’t come out right if you baked them right away. Put mine in the fridge overnight. Didn’t let them come to room temp first before baking and they came out PERFECT.

hello! i just made these and they were alright. i can’t say that they’re the best when it comes to its taste but so far they were the best looking cookies i have made. i failed anna olson’s recipe, my cookie did not flatten. but when i tried this recipe, i had the BEST LOOKING cookies ever.
anyways, here are the adjustments i made
- 1/4 white sugar and 3/4 brown sugar but i didnt pack it
- 1/4 tsp salt
- i didn’t put vanilla extract bc we dont have that at home
my batter is liquidy, but when i put the dough in the fridge and take it out 45 minutes after, the batter was alright.
lastly, i baked it at 160°C for about 13-15 minutes. when you take them out, it’s okay if they are still soft. let them cool for about 10 minutes before you transfer them on a plate.
hope this helped! happy baking!
love tracy thank you! I have also made these and I think that the vanilla makes quite a difference, maybe if you are going to make them again, add more brown sugar (for me it was great, but everyone a different personal preference), and as for the dough being luiquidy, the same happened to me so I just added more flour, remember, baking is about adding little personal touches!
Secret Person ill note that when i bake cookies again soon! ur welcome 🥰
how many cookies did it make? 💕
Abigail Cohen 12!!
thankyou this really helps! but can i know what recipe do you find the best in tasting?
I made this recipe today and it turned out pretty great! I followed the recipe EXACTLY. I even used ice cream scoop portion sizes when putting the dough on the tray. One thing I did that I would highlight recommend you doing is testing out one thing of cookie dough first. Just one! I know it adds extra time, but it will tell you if it will work out for the rest or not. I did this thinking that an ice cream scoop would be WAY to much, but it wasn't! It looked raw, but when I set it and let it cool it was chewy and just fine! I baked them for 12 mins btw. The cookie I tested got hard because I cooked it for 15 mins, but I cooked the rest of the batch for 12 and it was good! They have a strong toffee taste (I chilled it for 30 mins) and tou can started the vanilla a lot so if you don't like that don't add too much. In general as someone who bakes a lot, this recipe is kinda wonky, but all I can say is follow the recipe exactly, and test your portion sizes! Don't add too much flour, and don't fold it too much. And when storing, add a slice of bread to the container to keep them chewy. Hope this helps, And best of luck to you! :)
Maria Sidiqi yeah I think 15 mins meant mine were too hard, will do 12 mins instead. Thanks
Did you use light or dark brown sugar? 😮 hope you reply!
Thanks
lovelyblkwoman Brown lol I tried to get away with it, turns out I was wrong hahaha
Maria Sidiqi I love the fact that you typed out a whole essay just to be helpful, it shows that you wanted to help others, thanks
I made these today and they came out perfect! Best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever tried! I used light brown sugar tho. I recommend using only 2/3 of a cup of brown sugar because they were a bit too sweet! Thank you!
Long-time cookie baker here. These are the BEST chocolate chip cookies I've ever made, and I've tried many different recipes. Made the recipe as given, except used 60% chocolate chips at 7 oz - still got amazing melty goodness. The most surprising thing about these cookies is their crisp-chewy edges and soft gooey centers. Keep the sugar to butter ratio, it's perfect. Not too sweet if using dark/semi-sweet chocolate.
DO CHILL the dough, either before you scoop or after. Freeze scooped dough for 5 min at the very least or they will spread too much.
ALSO make sure your oven is ACTUALLY to temp - get a separate thermometer as most home ovens are not accurate reads.
I've actually come up with a recipe where I also use glucose syrup, it's totally amazing !
Random question: when you just started baking, approximately how many tries did it take you to perfect a recipe?
i love how everyone become united because of these cookies

That's why I do mug cakes
These cookies are sooo good, after making them like 10 times I made some changes to the recipe :))
1. Instead of brown and white sugar, I used 2 tbsp less than 1 cup of white sugar and used about 1/4 cup of molasses. This adds so much more flavor than brown sugar
2. I didn't melt the butter, instead creamed it at room temp(able to skip the chilling process and still get nice shapes)
3. added frozen chocolate chips: they chill the dough when mixed in
4. used only dark chocolate: This recipe is very sweet so milk choc is a bit too much. use bittersweet or dark chocolate instead
5. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. This might be different for every oven. They're perfectly done when the middle of the cookie(it puffs up during cooking) becomes flat and cracks can be seen on the top.
6. let them cool for at least 30 minutes before digging in. This is honestly the hardest step lol but they're so much better when they develop some texture after cooling.
Enjoy baking everyone :D
Will it be okay if I don't add brown sugar and vanilla essence cause I don't have them:(
@@srushti678 You can leave out vanilla essence or substitute it with a little bit of cinnamon :D For the brown sugar, you can do what I did and use only white sugar and some molasses. If you don't have molasses you can just use white sugar in place of the brown sugar, but the cookies will be less chewy I guess. Never tried using only white sugar so I don't know ;-;
I followed ur recipe and mines ended up a little runny
Just a little and I didnt you folded it too much
서영서 can i use self raising flour?
I made these!
This recipe makes 20 cookies (for the suggested temp/cook time). If you want bigger cookies you’ll have to lower the temp and do a longer cook time. They’re honestly so good (maybe a little greasy though), crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. I’d personally recommend a little more chocolate and maybe a touch less butter. Chilling them overnight is definitely the way to go (but you’ll have to bring them up to room temp before baking!!). There’s approx. 170 calories per cookie if you make a batch of 20.
Thanks a lot that is really nice of u to save people from making these mistakes. 😊
hm I received 8 cookies when utilizing an ice cream scooper, as the video suggested. It is chilling the fridge right now but I don't believe I should alter the temperature right? Since it is what the video employed as well.
@@anywi6106 It depends on how fat you want them. If you chill them they won't spread as much. If you want nice fat cookies with a gooey inside then you should chill. if you want them a little thinner and crispier but not as gooey bring them back up to room temp.
Guys... Tried it today. Used dark brown sugar and 50% dark chocolate for baking. Baked it for 14 minutes came out really well. I trust this recipe. Mine came with crisp outer layer and chewy inner layer. But if you want a completely chewy cookie I suggest you to bake only for 12 minutes
I love how everyone is telling their stories and how it turned out😂

Edit: BTW Happy Ramadan!!!
I forgot to heat the oven, so, in stead of cooking for 15 minutes, I had to make it cook for half an hour!
If I do say so myself, it is a really good recipe! My whole family where really proud of me!
Good job tasty!
Wow
I just wanted to comment this to say that i used to make this recipe but haven’t in a fair while. My best friend has an eating disorder and it can be a struggle getting him to eat anything a lot of the time, they may not be the most healthy things in the world but he adores these cookies and ive never seen him enjoy eating as much as i have when i have made these, because of this im going to make them a lot more again. Thank you so much for helping my best friend ❤
When you read the comments when the cookies are cooking and everyone is saying to reduce the sugar. Oh Dang.
Right! Should've read the comments its first! 😑
me tooo :((
edit: i just tasted it. it tasted like crispy but soft sugary boiled egg with chocolate. nice.
Yes it was too sweet, texture is perfect but definitely too much sugar

I like crunchy ones wayyyyyy more
I tried this recipe today. Came out really well. So simple and easy to do with easily available ingredients! Thank you so much 💓💓
Hey everyone, I just made a batch of these cookies today. And they were SO SO SO GOOD ❤️ I added brown butter instead of normal melted butter (Alvin's influence hehe). I pushed some chunks of chocolate after scooping the dough before baking so it melted well. I'd definitely reduce the sugar by a quarter cup as it was a bit sweeter than I thought. While bringing the dough together, I found it crumbling a little, so I brought it together with a splash of milk. Hope this helps anyone reading the comments ❤️ Thank you Tasty for this recipe 🥺❤️
Edit: forgot to add one last thing. If y'all don't have an ice cream scoop, a ladle works perfectly fine!
I totally agree with caramelising the butter & I too found a bit too sweet.
How many cookies does this make?
I made this recipie and is the BEST one i ever had. They were chewy and soft even the next day! PS: use vanilla EXTRACT not ecense AND use baking SODA not baking pouder
Joshua British if u use baking soda it wont rise u HAVE to use baking powder, or else it wont work
Purple Star It says baking soda in the recipe
Well maybe add 1/4 teaspoon of each then?
is it important to add vanilla extract or essence to the recipe?
Kakashi Hatake I need to know the same
This is so nostalgic for me because this is one of the first things I tried to bake with my brother over 4 years ago. I love how they used to do easy delicious foods and it was so easy because we weren't as well to do as we are now and these recipes really helped.
Yasssss
I also baked this with my sister for a school project we had fun doin it

I always fail at making cookies but this one was soooooooo easy and I would just maybe cut back on 1/4 cup of sugar and these would be THE best
Sensitive Light sugar and not brown sugar, right?
Vasanti Shanbhag yep sorry for the late reply cut back on the WHITE sugar
Sensitive Light yeah it was way too sweet for me
Ya I accidentally forgot to add the 1/2 cup of white sugar and was freaking out but it actually turned out perfect! I couldn't imagine how sweet they must be with the extra sugar. Also added a dollop of peanut butter.
I used all dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate and that managed to balance out the sweetness :)
I made them. It's my go to recipe for choco chip cookies. I just made 2 alterations - reduced the sugar amount ( 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar) and only used dark chocolate chunks. That's it. Oh and also i love to eat them straight out of the oven. So good. ❤
Do they have the same texture with less sugar? These are my go to but they're extremely sweet
You know, I usually don't make recipes from this channel, but you guys got to try this one. The cookies were really crisp from the outside and chewy as can be from the inside. My one little tip while making these is to brown the butter (basically boil it until it reaches a nice brown colour) and add some coffee to it as well. If you use dark brown sugar make sure to only use dark chocolate as dark it will cut the oversweet flavour of your overall dish. Cheers 🥂
I'm browning my butter too
How long do you chill them for?
Really?
Thank you!!! The brown sugar tip is just what i needed!!
I just made this today. I can’t believe I used to buy store bought premade cookie dough. These are absolutely yummmy!!!
I baked 6 at a time. The 1st batch at 15 minutes...too long
2nd batch at 13 minutes and it was much better.
My cookies burn easily, what should I do?
I used the same recipe though
Silver Yoon Gi cook it for less time. Maybe 2-3 minutes less than what you do. Every oven is different as far as heat.
Good luck
Mina Fujii the cookie dough I bought would always burn we don’t know why
DuckPlayz same here. I have noticed that a couple of minutes in the oven makes a big difference. Try to cook it 2-3 minutes less than what the instructions require. Take the cookies out right when the edges brown, place it on a cooling rack. I also use parchment paper. Try that.
A honest review about these cookies which i made 3 days ago :
They were chewy even after they were cold. I really liked their texture they were soft and tender. However though i cut down the white sugar they were very sweet to handle. (And trust me i like sweet desserts)They tasted just like sugar and 8 ounces of chocolate was too much. (Yeah too much chocolate for this small batch) I guess there is something wrong with the propotions idk. Welp i hope this helped.
Lynn I want to make these for some people but scared I'll be to sweet, how much sugar should I use ?
Lynn also, did you use dark chocolate? I personally hate dark chocolate but does it taste good after it's baked?
Sabrina Rooplal i used milk chocolate.
Sabrina Rooplal me 2 i hate dark chocolate.
Sabrina Rooplal use 3/4 cup of brown sugar.
6 yrs ago this is my go to recipe Tasty TH-cam
I tried these and they were SUPER good! Just make sure to let the butter cool down a bit before you put it into your sugar/salt thing at the start. It makes it have a better rise during baking, not sure why but it works!
Great! I read this after pouring my hot butter 🤦🏻♀️….. thank you for the tip, I’ll use it next time🙂
Because otherwise the butter can melt the sugar and cook the eggs

My cookies are chilling right now I’ll be sure to do it because last time my cookies also ended up as a ball
I just tried out this recipe and they turned out perfect! The edges are crispy while the center is chewy and soft. I did use a 1/4 cup of white sugar instead of 1/2 cup. I also used dark brown sugar. I make smaller dough balls, but they spread quite a bit. I baked them for like 9 minutes instead of 12☺
How many of the smaller dough balls did you bake at a time? 6? 12?

The best cookie recipe. Crusty edges, chewy middle. Even after sitting on the counter overnight, still crunchy and chewy. I didn’t cool the butter that much and did not refrigerate the dough, still turned out great. Will keep the recipe forever.

Christmas Eve 2023. Came to watch because my daughter wanted to make these for Santa. Stay blessed y'all 👋🏾
Out of all of the chewy chocolate chip cookie recipes I’ve searched on TH-cam, this recipe is by far the best one. I used milk chocolate chunks instead of semi-sweet chocolate and it came out amazing. It’s chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Not a lot of flour so it wasn’t dry. I really loved it!
This deserves a HUGE oh yes!!! I would just add m&m's to the mix as well

Idk how some of y’all messed up this recipe but my cookies came out SO GOOD.! Lol A tip I learned just from baking the pre made cookies, when you start to smell them in the oven is when you need to take them out. I take them out after 10 minutes and let them sit. Soft and chewy on the inside, crunchy on the outside! 😋😋
did you chill it overnight??
Did u use the same recipe
Krisle Hernandez Yes I did. They chilled for about 8 hours overnight.!
Zarki i Yes, exact recipe!
where did you chill the dough? in the refrigerator or freezer?
I am only 14 and usually I am very bad at cooking but when I tried this every single one in my family told me that I would be a great cook. I really really loved every single thing.
Note: if you don’t like lots of sugar then add only quarter a cup of powder sugar
Yeah i put a tablespoon of salt instead of a teaspoon... waiting how they'll turn out rn

I made these today and these were the best chocolate chip cookies I ever tasted. These are like the cookies you get at a good bakery.
They were soft, moist and chewy, just the way I like my cookies. Here is what I did.
1. I used Splenda instead of regular sugar (both white and brown)
2. I used sugar free chocolate chips
3. I let the egg get to room temperature (google it and you will find out why)
4. I let the butter cool after I melted in the microwave
5. I mixed everything by hand, no mixer. Do not overmix.
6. I put the cookie dough in the fridge and let it chill for 2 hours
7. I did not overbake. I took them out as soon as they got brown around the edges and left them on the pan for 5 minutes.
Trust me on this, you don't won't to overbake.
8. You can put these in the freezer and just take some out when you want some. They thaw really fast and will taste just as fresh as the
day you made them.

Try using brown butter instead of just melted butter!! It takes it to another level.. let your dough rest as much as possible before baking, it gives your cookie a rich flavour. This recipe is amazing I've been baking these for 3 years now 💕

If it don't taste like diabetes, it ain't right
This recipe is so so good! I shared them with my friends and every week they ask me when would I make again.
P.S.If you don't like it to be very sweet, reduce sugar by half. I did that and my friends did say the cookie was too sweet still!
I tried this recipe yesterday, what I did was placed my butter in a ceramic bowl then I poured hot water in a aluminum mixing bowl and that's where I melted my butter, I did this so that I won't have to wait for my butter to cool, my cookies came out the same as the cookies in the video
Try the brown butter method it’s worth it
@@ashleysmith-ft9yz what method
@@hibahadjadj508 brown butter method is when you melt the butter in pan until it turns brown
Made these for a birthday. Ended up making 8 times the batter and slitting one into the original flavour and the other into a brownie type buscuit and omg they were good. Had to make variations with the sugar as I didn’t have enough brown sugar but they still came out so good
These cookies are so good. I used white whole wheat flour(pastry flour) and Splenda for the sugars to make more healthy. I mixed everything by hand. Very important to not overmix. I put in fridge overnight and baked the next day. Chewy on the inside, crisp on the outside. Make sure to let them chill in the fridge. This gives them a toffee flavor. They are fantastic.

@Ankita Roy Blog brown sugar is essential in cookies, i don't think there is an alternative
Ankita Roy Blog I made them with white cane sugar and they turn out delicious, so I’m pretty sure you and can use regular sugar.
@Ankita Roy Blog you can use Regular white sugar it will turn out well but it won’t be as good as the one made with brown sugar
Brown sugar gives the chewiness to the cookie
When using Regular sugar it will be hard
Hope this is helpful :)
I think it’s great to read how everyones cookies turned out and it’s great to see how people are helping each other and have fun with baking and cooking. 😃 Also hilarious how people complain that theire cookies are too sweet. It’s a cookie ffs. 😂 It’s supposed to be that way. 🤷🏻♂️ It’s not a salad.

But cookies that ARE WAY too sweet really overwhelm me
wolfy _SN_ Yeah, I understand why some people say that. And I mean, you can make the cookies exactly to your taste. That’s the awesome thing about making them on your own. But for me, a cookie has to be sweet. Then I eat just one of them an this one cookie really has it all. :)
