Scott's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Here is my chocolate chip cookie recipe adapted from several of my favorite cookie recipes over several years.
Ingredients
Dry
- 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt + extra pinch for tops of finished cookies!
- 1 1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Mixture of Semi-sweet and Milk Chocolate roughly chopped
Wet
- 1 tbsp Heavy Cream or your milk of choice! (ideally with a high fat content)
- 1 Egg large
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup soft or melted Unsalted Butter
Make The Dough
- Mix together all the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Then add the brown and white sugars to the wet ingredients and mix.
- Then add all of the remaining dry ingredients except for the flour and chocolate chips.
- After the dry ingredients have been combined, mix in the flour 1/4 cup at a time.
- Mix in chocolate chips last.
- Chill dough in refrigerator.
Chill The Dough
It very important to chill the dough in the fridge, in an air-tight container, for at least 4 hours, but it is best to chill overnight.
Bake The Dough
Scoop the dough into 1.5in balls and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350°F
oven for 10 minutes
which will make a slightly under-baked
cookie with a gooey center.
Quickly sprinkle the tops with a little bit of salt of your choice as soon as you pull them out of the oven.
Let cookies cool down on cookie sheet for 2 minutes before removing them from the sheet.
