Ultimate chocolate chip cookie
During my high school summers, I worked in a kitchen and made hundreds of chocolate chip cookies. Ever since I’ve been perfecting the recipe for the ultimate chocolate chip cookie. I’m so happy I can finally share it with you all so you can make them too!
INGREDIENTS
– 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
– 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
– 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, lightly packed
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tbsp vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 tbsp molasses
– 2 1/2 cups bread flour
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 tbsp malted milk powder
– 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
– 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
In a bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter and sugars. Beat until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated after each addition.
Add the vanilla and molasses, and mix until incorporated.
Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the flours, malted milk powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix slowly at first and then mix to incorporate, 2 minutes.
Add the chocolate chips and mix briefly or mix in by hand. Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Using a #40 cookie scoop (0.875 oz or 1.75 tbsp), place cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are slightly domed, 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a pan for 5 minutes. Then finish cooling on a cooling rack.
