Chris Makes Chocolate Chip Cookies | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit 

Chris has slowly but surely tempered his way to my heart.

Only Chris would use the phrase "arresting the lateral spread" when making chocolate chip cookies. Never change Chris. Never change.

everyone: “chocolate chips” Chris: “chocolate moments” “graphic chocolate pieces”

"here goes nothing" says the professional chef as he puts a batch of perfectly balanced and shaped cookies in the oven

Chris: Very methodical and logical process. Calm, cool, analytical, confident. Claire: Chaos everywhere.

I started off with Claire but now I love all of them

"Someone was irate that this recipe only yielded 16 cookies" lol what, just double the recipe?

I made this for my bday and took them to work. I went from no one to cookie girl. That’s how good this recipe is.

My man Chris must get his fade topped up every morning he's always looking fresh

BA's tried really f**king hard. This needs to be a segment.

Tips if your cookies are runny/spreading too much: • use the gram measurements for more accurate amounts • let the brown butter cool before mixing in the flour • let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate before baking • make sure you're using dark brown sugar - light brown may not have enough acidity to activate the baking soda • try refrigerating the dough for 30 min before baking • if you're making multiple batches, let the cookie sheet cool between batches (a hot cookie sheet will make the dough start to spread faster than a cool one) • if the cookies don't puff at all in the oven, try adding 1/8 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, or 1/4 tsp of cream of tartar to activate the baking soda. You could also try replacing the baking soda with baking powder (though the amounts may not be the same)

I love how they included negative reviews and he actually tried to explain the recipe the best he could

New series called 'BA's Tried Real F*cking Hard' starring Chris.

"Are these BA's Best?" "They're BA's 'Tried Real Bleeping Hard'" ...And that's all we can ask for honestly

"My mom says I need to smile more." Made me giggle. Hi Chris' mom! If you see this!

Chris: *the Pinterest post* Claire: *the Pinterest user*

okay but where is the 6 hour long video of chris making 300 batches of cookies *dont stiff me BA i know you have it*

Of COURSE Chris Morocco went thru 30 rounds of development and 10 crosstests...that's what we love about him.

Chris, you nerd. You adorable, incredible, infectious nerd. You help people fall in love with baking by showing us how and why _you_ love baking. And you are so lucky to have a gracious, positive colleague like Carla :) She so gently told you what exactly about this video and your hard work is truly magical - that the point of all this work is the simple joy of good food. Thank you, BA.

“Big fat chocolate moments” I knew he was one of us

I really like how Chris explains a recipe, it helps to understand the process. At this point the sugars will dissolve. There's little danger of over working the dough by hand. We are cooking at this temp because...

"Chris' least favorite task is chopping chocolate. He really went through it for you." Thanks Chris! We really appreciate it.

I love how much Chris cares and tries and takes food seriously while never losing his simple appreciation for it either. This is how you dedicate yourself to something. They say you should find something you love and let it kill you... I feel like I'm seeing that slowly happen every time Chris has a video. Thank you Chris and BA.

One tip I would give to anyone watching now is to maybe leave the brown butter cool a little longer than a minute, the cold butter added goes a long way but I would still give it maybe 5 minutes before adding your eggs. Mine unfortunately got scrambled

"I know you see the flaws, but you just have to see the beauty." -Carla Lalli Music, my day to day inspiration

Bon Appétit should capitalize on the hype of the test of taste (the Chris tries to recreate the beef Wellington) and post more Chris videos.

when ur crush says she loves cookies so u save this for when quarantine is over and you can make these for her for when u see her again

“I feel like this is my Everest” “I am it and it is me”

I have been fiending for some more videos from Chris, thank you for fueling my addiction.

THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND CHRIS MOROCCO

I've been making this recipe for years now and it's still hands down for me the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever made.

ok since people seem upset that it only makes 16, i did the math for y’all for 2 dozen cookies (don’t try 12 per sheet though that will be a disaster) - 2 1/4 cups flour - 1 7/8 tsp sat - 1 1/8 tsp baking soda - 1 1/8 cup (2 1/4 sticks) of butter- 1 1/2 stick for browning and 3/4 stick to add - 1 1/2 cup brown sugar - 3/8 cup white sugar - 1 1/2 eggs - 3 egg yolks - 3 tsp vanilla - 9 oz chopped chocolate/ chocolate chips enjoy!

Chris: So how dramatic do you want the intro? BA producers: Yes

I love that dry wit "You want to mix this in the smallest bowl possible..."

"Make cookies, be happy" - Chris Morocco 2019

Things I love about this recipe: 1) No noisy equipment 2) No overnight required but strongly advised 3) Little heartbreak margin cuz they're sooo good and sooo easy Also, sometimes you have to wait further for the melted butter to cool down more in room temp (20°-22°C or 68°-72°F) cuz according to some tips found on other recipes for cc cookies, hotter butter tends to yield oily/greasy cookies even when the butter and sugar mixture has cooled down by themselves but the fact is, the butter wasn't too hot to burn the sugars but it was too hot that it didn't meld well enough in the overall batter and that's the typical complaint that can be traced back to the temp of the butter when you mixed it with the sugars. Hope this helps and ps pls don't be offended! 😊

I love how scientific Chris is with his approach. "Arrest the lateral spread of the cookies"

I've been waiting for this video so long. The amount of times you could see him standing in the background baking his cookies in previous episodes. Love it.

I just tried this recipe today, and objectively speaking, these are the best cookies that I have ever made. They are absolutely delicious. Few pointers for those who are getting overspreading problem: Definitely consider letting the mixture set for 10 minutes before baking If it is still too runny, refrigerate for a short while.

My favorite thing about Chris's videos is that he explains the reasoning behind every step and ingredient

When you realise Carla is not just your supportive mom but the whole of BA's supportive mom

I really enjoyed the tone of this - "patiently explain". There was a warmth, and a sense of Chris' struggle. Great work, as always.

Wasnt expecting the Guns and Rose's references but I love them so so much.

Since quarantine I've made this recipe about 5 times already and I can't get enough of the balance of the salty and the chewy, chocolatey, butteriness of the cookie. This def my goto cookie recipe thank you Chris!

Watched half way. Stopped. Ran to grocery store. Bought everything to make these. Turned out so freaking good. Then finished video.

That opening is pure gold. I been waiting for this cookie video for so long! Love all the Chris videos I'm LIVING for this

What I really like about what they produce is that they never claim their dishes to be the best around. So humble

I love that you explain the science behind it, I've always been curious about the science/chemistry behind baking. Thank you.

i would watch 100 videos of Chris Responding to Negative Recipe Reviews

Chris: lawful good Gabby: neutral good Claire: chaotic good Carla: lawful neutral Molly: true neutral Brad: chaotic neutral Andy: lawful evil Vinny: neutral evil Amiel: chaotic evil

Chris reminds me of Ben Wyatt. Since this realization I’ve become obsessed

I used to be intimidated by Chris, now I just want him and Claire to rule the world.

Chris is quickly becoming my favorite ba personality.

"You need to do this in the smallest bowl possible." Challenge accepted, Morocco.

I absolutely loved this! And I'm loving Chris and so appreciate the science behind it. Great video.

I made this yesterday and it turned out really flat and soggy on the bottom. I then froze the same batter for 24 hours and baked it on 180C for 12 minutes and it’s perfect!! Not flat, not soggy, crispy on the outside and chewy om the inside. The dough might be too sweet on its own, but when I bite into the chocochipped (?) part, it’s well-balanced!! I love this a lot

Honestly, I'm really impressed with your microphones. You can hear Chris' calm, smooth voice with no problems even over BRAD BEING AS LOUD AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE in the background. Also impressed by Chris' ability to focus. xD

i love chris. he’s so informative yet sarcastically funny in the best possible way. that’s why i enjoy watching these videos so much. i like learning about cooking and why foods behave certain ways. and the chefs at BA are just so likeable.

Excellent recipe. Produces a very flavorful cookie with excellent texture, slightly crunchy but soft and chewy. make sure to allow your dough time to hydrate after mixing it. Its very important, from expierence with this recipe, to allow the dough to have hold and come right off your fingers with a gresy feeling. Best tasting chocolate chip cookie recipe ive tried.

I love how dedicated they are to making not only great content but great food

I freaking love Chris. I mean, I love everyone in this channel, but yeah. Chris.

Chris is honestly life goals. Style, personality, skills, etc. Be the Chris Morocco you know you can be.

the "greasiness" that people are talking about is the result of cheap butter... if you use cheap or low quality butter you will get greasy baked goods 😥 the sad truth guys.

His calm energy is just fantastic I feel like he doesn’t realize how funny he is great content thanks Morocco

"if there's anything Guns + Roses has taught us..." My god, Chris keeps getting more and more interesting every segment he films!

Chris is the peoples man. How could anyone dislike him

the cutting chocolate part is really the ASMR I never knew I needed.

This recipe will forever be an all time favorite!! These cookies are so good!

"Brad Making As Much Noise As He Possibly Can In The Background | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit"

"Make cookies; be happy." Words to live by.

I have been wanting to make these for such a long time. I finally gathered the ingredients for it. Looking forward to some test batches & a perfect recipe for Christmas. Thanks Chris!

These were awesome!!! Perfectly crispy and brown-buttery on the outside and perfectly chewy on the inside. You've done great, Chris!!!

"Make cookies. Be happy." - Chris Morocco curing my depression. BA's best indeed.

16 is perfect. Make 2 batches if you want more

Chris is awesome. I feel like whichever BA person is on screen is my favorite at that moment, but Chris and Claire have a special place in my heart.

I love that Chris doesn't smile much in these vids. He's the test kitchen villain we need!

“Are these BA’s best??” Gabby Omgg I love her 💀😭👏🏽

"My mom said I need to smile more in my videos." She's right and we love your laughter. Mother really does know best

Waiting for these in the oven right now! They smell amazing and I Iove how simple the recipe was! Thanks for putting in the hardwork for us!

Making these while in quarantine thanks Chris!

Chris needs to write a book. Honestly, his recipes are so good I'd pay good money for a Chris Morocco cookbook.

Realtalk: who else lost it when the super serious Chris lifted the plate of cookies and said, “fly” at 11:06

This was such a great video ! Listening to Chris is so calming and also I crave cookies now

I just made these and they were incredible! I’m going to be thick after this quarantine 🍪 😘

After his 'Recreating Gordon Ramsey's video, I have to say I appreciate Chris a whole lot more.

BA has made me fall in love with, not only their staff (because they seem so wonderful), but also cooking and baking. They make it so fun and explain to you the recipes so thoroughly. And you can just tell their passion for it. Truly a great company and channel. Edit: TRULY GREAT TALENTS WHO SPUR CHANGE AND PROGRESS.

Thank you! for using grams in the recipe! ETA: Wow, I just made them and the browned butter makes a big difference in flavour. I let my fully mixed dough sit in the fridge for several hours before baking -- worked like a charm. Thank you for all your time & effort in development, but especially for sharing it with us.

This was my first attempt at chocochip cookies. Thank you so much for such a great recipe. These are perfect tasting, chewy , little salty and big chocolate chunks just makes the day.

12:37 'We recommend milk, not tequila as a pairing. Thank you'

Lol Chris did not make 30 batches of cookies for someone to call them GREASY 😂😂 I have more faith in this recipe than humanity as a whole

Thanks for sharing Chris!! Can’t wait to try them out!

Absolutely delicious!!! This recipe is my favorite!!!

mad about 16 cookies??? bruh double the recipe 😂

I love how you explain the scientific aspects behind making the cookies! I'm learning so much about food everytime I watch your videos. Thank you Chris!!

Quite literally still use this recipe anytime I make homemade choco chip cookies! Great recipe! Awesome Job Chris!

THANK YOU! For posting this recipe with grams! I make a lot of American recipes, and they usually only provide stick or cup measurements!

Is it possible for chris to be in the background of his own video?

Chris has this charisma like an early 2000s anime villain. Something about him is such a cheesy and loving yet elitist "I know more than you." energy. Hard to explain but I love it.

Tried these out, and they came out PERFECT. Such an amazing cookie recipe.
