I like when chocolate chip cookies spread so I don't do this with chocolate chip specifically. I think this tip is best for shortbread, sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, etc. - any cookie that you want to keep its shape or to be thick and soft inside, as opposed to thin and chewy
@@2GoatsInATrenchCoatthe fridge isn’t for spread purposes, it’s to let the flavors marinate together. If you want the cookies to spread like normal, just leave the balled cookie dough out for around 30 minutes before you bake the cookies.
@@ZigZoxy yeah I could bring it up to room temp before baking, but I haven't noticed a difference in taste when I let cookie dough sit in the fridge, so it's not worth it for me. but maybe my palate's not refined enough lol
@@micah1754 "mood" might be the wrong word - but sometimes I'm in the mood for something a little more bitter with chopped dark chocolate and a sprinkle of smoky finishing salt. Other times, I'm in the mood for something sweeter and a bit more playful, with mini-M&Ms in it. And for ANZAC day, I'll make half my ANZAC biscuits with semi-sweet choc-chips in it (or if I'm just in the mood for a good chewy choc-chip cookie)
@@micah1754 Soooo good. And it's easier to put the chopped chocolate into the batter, than to properly melt and temper the chocolate to drizzle on top or coat the bottom.
my dad is an amazing cook and baker. he told me that he ALWAYS adds an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract and it has made such an amazing difference in our cookies!
I like to add ice to my brown butter instead of water because, as the butter is very hot, if you add it straight away then it will cook the eggs and won’t be best. If you use ice, it will cool it down quicker so you can add it straight into the dry ingredients :)
Another good tip is to refrigerate your Dough before baking, especially if the recipe calls for it. It helps the cookies bake evenly and also form into thicker cookies
Best comment, I’m a dancer and I have comps in the morning so I just love awakening at 5am and I watch some dance videos, then like two hours later once I’ve had my nervous breakdown on the bathroom floor, I’m like ‘ mmmm, I need chocolate 😂
@@nisatanrkulu207 1 cup bread flour ¾ cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons kosher salt, or 1½ teaspoons table salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks 2 tablespoons water, room temperature 1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup white sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon espresso powder 1 large egg 1 large egg yolk ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 5 oz dark chocolate, chopped In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, salt, and baking soda. Set aside. In a medium or large saucepan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. The larger the pan you use, the quicker the process will be! Bring the butter to a boil, stirring frequently. As the water begins to boil out of the butter, the milk solids in the butter will separate, sink to the bottom, and begin to toast and brown. As this begins to happen, make sure to stir constantly so the butter browns evenly. It may become quite foamy, splatter a bit, and be difficult to see, so keep a close eye on it, removing from heat and continuing to stir if it starts to foam over. Once the butter has turned a nice nutty brown, remove from the heat and pour into a large liquid measuring cup to stop the cooking. Allow it to cool down for a minute or two, give it a stir, and carefully add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the butter to bring it back up to 1 cup (240 ml) of liquid. Set aside to cool to room temperature. To help speed this process up, you can place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. You want to make sure the butter is still liquid when you’re adding it to the dough later on, so make sure to remove after 15 minutes. In a large bowl, add the sugars, vanilla, espresso powder, and cooled brown butter. Cream together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and yolk and beat until incorporated. Add the dry ingredients, about ⅓ of the mixture at a time, and beat between additions until just incorporated. It’s okay for there to be a bit of unmixed flour on the edge of bowl, this will be incorporated in the next step. Using a wooden spoon, fold the chocolate chips and chunks into the dough Scoop the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 3-tablespoon-sized mounds. For optimal flavor, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or, even better, overnight. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Evenly space the dough 3 inches (8 cm) apart from one another on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven for 12-14 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Instead of adding espresso powder you could just ad coffee instead of water into the brown butter. I typically keep a few ice cubes with coffee in my freezer for that exact purpose, it helps cool down the butter a bit too
@@chrisbrownx oh yeah , espresso is a type of coffee . I think espresso powder is more stronger than coffee tho. Different coffees have different flavours:)
@@chrisbrownx I think since they said "coffee instead of water" and mentioned "ice cubes with coffee" they mean the liquid coffee, rather than powder. Idk though, that was just my assumption.
@somebody Yeah! it absolutely is but If you can't get espresso powder frozen coffee works just as well. Frozen espresso will obviously render the most similar result but if you're adding the ice cubes regardless, why not add some more flavor!
Instructions unclear I have now: Burned my butter Used a whole loaf of bread Made an espresso Used an *entire* egg (with the shell) Used 3 chocolate bars And now my house is burning down
After reading this I just realized there is no hope left for humanity. We are now clones who keep repeating the same bs over and over trying to impress people we don’t know

Pro tip experiment with your butter temp. I like a crispy cookie with a chewy center so I chill my brown butter until solid. Fully melted butter is gonna give you two options. Bake right away and they're thinner and crispier, chill and bake from cold and they're softer and chewy. Baking is an art and a science, every change can yield a totally different cookie.

I think Alvin had a different recipe but was very similar to this. If my memory serves me right the one who developed this was a woman and she used brown butter and bread flour compared to Alvin's only melted butter and APF only.
OMG, made these last night and they are the absolute best chocolate chip cookie I've ever tasted. I can't make these too often because they are addictive. Thanks.
these look sooooooooo good I made them and got so may complements. thank you my cookies have always turned out fluffy and not chewy but this time they were chewy and perfect
I also recommend using a mix of semi sweet, dark and milk chocolate, really gives it more depth, you can adjust it based on how sweet you like your chocolate, I personally only normally have semi and milk chocolate on hand so I skip dark sometimes.
I want to taste one so bad 😂 Especially with the coffee powder. I bet that flavor is heavenly. I’m too lazy to make it though. I usually just buy packaged cookie dough. I don’t even own a whisk.
Not going to lie, I’ve made these a couple times. They are the best. Don’t skip the bread flour, you don’t really need the expresso, but it does give it a little something extra.
Im lazy but always crave cookies late at night so i finally broke down and bought a tub of Tollhouse dough🤣😂🤣😂I bake homemade cookies on the holidays but i like shortcuts the rest of the year lol. I also love making 3 cookies for myself while my kids are sleeping and i don't have to share lol
@@Mr_duckky bruh. i most likely live in a different country and just want to make some banger cookies. aint you giving me the recipe gonna change a single thing about your life other than making some stranger happy. just wanted that to be known but feel free to keep it a secret
when making chocolate chip cookies, if you want melty, gooy-like chocolate, use shaved chocolate or just break some bars down. if you want your chocolate to keep its form, use chocolate chips.
