Chocolate Chip Cookies

Either you’ve committed yourself to a recipe that you turn to time and again, or you jump from one recipe to another in search of something greater, better, tastier.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Let’s talk about that ubiquitous cookie you’ve made countless times. Either you’ve committed yourself to a recipe that you turn to time and again, or you jump from one recipe to another in search of something greater, better, tastier. Perhaps the key to flavor doesn’t lie in the ingredients but in the method. Here I take a standard chocolate chip cookie and find a way to make it just a little more extraordinary.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

  • 1 cup softened coconut oil (or sub softened margarine or butter)
  • 34 cup brown sugar, preferably dark
  • 12 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 12 tsp sea salt
  • 214 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 112 cups mini chocolate chips or 2 cups regular chocolate chips

In a medium mixing bowl, mix the coconut oil and sugars until well incorporated. Add eggs one at a time and stir to combine. Add vanilla, baking soda, and salt and mix well, making sure there are no lumps. Add flour and mix until just combined. (We don’t want to form too much gluten to ensure soft cookies.) Slowly fold in the chocolate chips.

Method 1: Bake Now

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop cookie dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them 3 inches (712 cm) apart. Bake for 11–13 minutes or until the edges brown and the cookies puff.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. The cookies will collapse. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy.
