CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES [The Only Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe You Need]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 гру 2020
- I truly think that this is the perfect chocolate chip cookie. It's chewy and gooey in the middle, a little crunchy around the edges, buttery, chocolatey, a touch salty. I can't think of something that the human brain wants more. I did a LOT of R&D for this one to get it just right. I tried browned butter vs creaming, switched up the ratios of ingredients, and tried different bake times and temps. I can say with confidence that the recipe that I'm showing you creates the absolute best chocolate chip cookie that I can imagine.

FOR THIS RECIPE YOU'LL NEED:
(makes 8 jumbo cookies. i always recommend using the recipe listed in grams for the most accurate results)
220g (or 2 sticks/1 cup) nice butter
100g (or 1/2 cup) granulated sugar
200g (or 1 cup) dark brown sugar
2 large eggs + 1 yolk
4g (or 1 1/4 teas) vanilla extract
8oz of 70% cacao nice baking chocolate (bars not chips)
330g (or 2 1/3 cups) AP flour
1/2 teas baking soda
1/4 teas baking powder
7g (or 1 1/4 teas) salt
flakey salt for topping
Into the bowl of a stand mixer, add room temperature butter and the sugars. Using the paddle attachment, cream for 4-5 minutes on medium high. Then add in eggs + yolk and vanilla and cream on high for another 1 minutes (pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway through). Creaming times will vary slightly based on the temperature of your product. At the end of the creaming, your mixture should look the way it does in the video.
Roughly chop the chocolate. Transfer the chocolate into a colander or salad spinner and gently shake to remove some of the fine grains of chocolate so you're left with mostly the large chunks.
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix on low for about 30 seconds. Reserve 15-20 chocolate chunks and gently fold the rest into the mixture until well distributed.
Using a 4oz scoop or 1/2c measuring cup, scoop cookies onto a small tray, dropping a couple of chocolate chunks into the bottom of the scooper before scooping. Refrigerate for 4-12 hours.
When you're ready for baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place cookies on two flat, parchment-lined baking sheets. I do 4 cookies per sheet since these are LARGE cookies and need room to spread. Top each cookie with a sprinkle of flakey salt. Bake for around 18 minutes or until edges are golden brown, but soft in the middle.

The thing I really love about your videos is that you not only have great recipes but you also explain the reasoning behind the process, really helps me elevate my baking to understand what I'm actually doing rather than just following a recipe!
Thanks! That’s exactly the content I want to make, I’m really happy you dig it. Thanks for the comment
Plus, he’s just so likable.
Check out Ethan Chelaboski
My family said the cookies I baked, closely following your video and recipe, are the best cookies they’d ever eaten and it was the best thing I’ve ever made them. Major major thanks for the recipe and instructional video. Big kudos to you from the fam.
Mine said the same! Killer recipe
Artisanal chocolates chip cookies are very rare unless if you’re New York City. So the majority of the population need to make them at home like in this video
I’m a pastry cook and make cookies almost every day at the restaurant and I can confirm this is a really good method. If you still want to incorporate brown butter you can do a 1:1 ratio of unsalted softened butter to brown butter or even 2:1. The flavor is worth it!!!
Cool. I'm making these and and will try your 1:1 method🥰
This is a stupid question but could you brown the butter, re-harden it in the fridge, and then let it soften? or does the browning just irrevocably change the composition of the butter?
BRIAN! This is the one! I've been experimenting and searching for the perfect chocolate cookie recipe for literally years, especially over the last 2. This is exactly what I had in my mind. This is perfect. You win. Thank you!
Finally, a chocolate chip cookie recipe that's not complicated and still delicious. I would love to see you do the same with the giant gooey Levain Bakery choc chip cookie.
Pretty much the main difference would be using a mix of ap flour and cake flour
I don't know what recipe you looked at, but this is far more complicated than most, and not really any better.
@@Margalus Honestly. I'm not waiting 4+ hours to chill. Cookies are an 'I want these now' kind of situation.
I've found the best chew with lasting crunch is after chilling the dough for 2-3 days.
@@malloryg4251 I didn't say it was complicated. Simply that it's more complicated than most other recipes, which it is.
"You can't cream melted butter." But... but... but you put the browned butter in the fridge. And it becomes solid again. And then you cream it.
yesss! this is what i do
I’ll cream it regardless 😏
@@Dctctx 📸🤨
@@BaratAnemica you heard me
Ayoo
These are amazing! In case anyone is wondering - I replaced 1:1 gluten free flour for the AP flour and they turned out incredible!
I made those for Lorn same way with King Arthur Gf flour and they RIPPED!
Thank you, I will do the same. I was hoping he'd have more gluten free recipes since his wife is gluten free.
Did you replace the GF flour by weight or by cup measure?
@@megmayo measured everything by weight!
I can't stop making them. These cookie dough is always in my refrigerator, hands down the best cookies ever.
300k subscribers; congratulations Brian & Lauren. You two deserve so much success.
Thanks, Kate!
I’ve been binge watching you videos Brian! Amazing recipes and easy instructions. Being a lazy foodie your videos are perfect to watch as I’m trying to dabble in bread more. Much love to ya and Lorn. Fellow Chicagoan also!
I laughed when you cued the music and started pouring the milk 😂
Can't wait to make these.
This is a beautiful recipe. Try adding a tbsp or two of toasted milk powder to the butter/sugar as you cream it. You can achieve very similar flavor to browned butter while keeping the creamed butter effect.
you put so much care into every single video and it _shows_ ! thank you very much for another amazing recipe!
You know it's a good recipe when you don't have any of the specialty ingredients and it still turns out better than any cookie you've ever made!
What specialty ingredients have you seen in any other choc chip cookie recipe? I'm just curious to know.
Such as the MALDON SEA SALT FLAKES? 😆
Just wanted to say I made these for my picky family and they all LOVED these. Thank you!
First ever attempt baking. Made them and they were the best thing ever. Total success!! Thanks Brian!!
Finally got around to making these last night. They were legitimately the best cookies I've ever had, thanks for the recipe!
Made this recipe yesterday and it was absolutely amazing!! Just how i like it, crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Will definitely be making it again and again
Brian … you’re hysterical … you take baking to another level … soooo talented and fun to watch you cook !!!
I really love the overall tone of your videos. They are a delight to watch and you explain everything really well. My wife is out for the weekend, so we are making these cookies tomorrow for when she comes back. I can't wait for you to release a cooking book!
Nice! Thanks for watching. Best of luck with these
I tried this recipe over the weekend before last and I still daydream about how perfect they tasted. I did some adjustments like 50g of granulated sugar and 150g of brown sugar and they came out to my taste, not overly sweet but still feels like dessert. I also enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to brown my butter as I don't like the fuss.
If you need a sign, a voice of reason to push you to make this recipe, this is it!
Those look scrumptious! I'll definitely be trying this recipe, I love that it has more brown sugar to white-I prefer cookies like that & I LOVE dark & bittersweet chocolate!
Let me know how they work out for you. I did quite a bit of testing on this one. Should be great
I’ve tried twice they come out terrible I think it’s my mixer idk
@@BrianLagerstrom have you tried using toasted milk powder in your cookies. They give you the brown butter taste without the need to browning your butter
You are the best. Have done several of your recipes. Of course I can tell that you love your own cooking.
The little dance at the end is priceless.😁😁
These were absolutely the best cookies. Thanks for the recipe and keep up the good work.
Thanks for trying them!
I made this by the recipe exactly and I am blown away by how good these cookies are!!! Best recipe ever!!!!🍪🍪🍪
These cookies are truly next level!!!
I have a couple of ideas. I've hand chopped chocolate for my chocolate chip cookies for a long time, but the thing I do differently is use two or three different kinds of chocolate. I'll use semi-sweet, some bittersweet and a little bit of good quality milk chocolate also. You can reduce the sugar by a little to compensate for the added sugar in the milk chocolate, but I'm talking about an ounce or two at most, 30-55 grams. And good quality milk chocolate not oversweetened chocolate candy.
Another thing after you firm up the balls of cookie dough in the fridge, you can put them in the freezer. I put them directly in the freezer by placing them on a quarter sheet or plate until they get hard enough to move to a ziplock bag. You can then bake them from frozen without defrosting first, just add a minute or two to the baking time and have fresh cookies whenever you want. You can also leave the dough in the fridge for several days, the flavor develops more. Try it, bake a few the first day and then the rest in two or three days and see if you can tell the difference. It's a great excuse to eat and share cookies.
I agree with the others. This channel is going to take off. Remember us who were here first! (Okay, not first I found the channel last week but I've baked from it and shared it already)
I have an idea for your first t-shirt!
That sounds like a fantastic idea, Kekkai! Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try it when I make this recipe.
Thank you so much Brian!! They are amazing!!!🎉
I don't know where you have been all my life but I'm so glad I found your channel! Awesome recipes and they are explained very well. The unexpected humor and shenanigans are the best, LOL.
Awesome recipe Brian.. thank you!!!
My human mind wants!! This is cookie perfection. Thanks for your research and share!
Made these again ….. still amazing! Soooo good!
Dude your videos are so good. I'd watch them all day long.
Thanks man! thanks for being here.
I keep coming back to this recipe. Hands down the best choccy chip cookie recipe I have ever made. As a bonus the recipe is in metric. Thank you so much Mr. Lagerstrom!
at this point I have the recipe memorized but I still keep coming here
I will be baking these on Sunday and cannot wait to gift to my family. We appreciate the 7 tried and meticulous methodology. I have never like the chips in my cookies and now I understand why. Thank you again.
Outcome ?
Love this recipe! You're the man! 😘
my favorite so far is Claire's recipe, after brown the butter, she added some spoons of cold heavy cream, and then whipped the melted brown butter and voila, the butter set again and whipped perfectly, and now it becomes my favorite and i re-create it a lot. but i love exploring new recipe, so I'm going to try this one, fingers crossed it'll be good as it looks in the video. thank you for sharing.
I've really enjoyed Claire's as it's definitely been my most favorite but I haven't tried this one yet. I'd like to find a quicker recipe where I don't have to brown the butter and then "re-solidify" the butter. I wish I had more time to do that all the time. Have you tried this recipe yet?!?!?!?
OMG - I am swept away!! Thank you Bri!
I have tried this recipe and I’ve made my own for years and were always popular but wanted to try your recipe yes they r so many out there and tried the melted butter and found them too soft for my taste. This one I must say is above my expectations it was a real treat crispy and chewy at the same time just as I like them 👍🏻👍🏻thank u 😊
You can brown the butter, cool it in the fridge or over an ice bath, then cream it like normal. Then you’d get the browned butter flavour (which is the best part in a choc chip cookie, IMO) and the texture you prefer. Win-win.
Edit: I learned this from Claire Saffitz :D
I do the same thing. You just have to remember to replace the liquid you lose when browning butter. I add 2 T of milk.
Im going to try this recipe today...this looks like the best cookie recipe so far...😋
Just made them. Will absolutely do it again!
Awesome! So glad the recipe worked out for you. Thanks for watching
It' s nice to have a mix of different chips.
My mouth is watering, those look so yummy!
made these for christmas and they were a HIT y’all. everyone was shook by the sheer size of these monsters but they were also so good. I dont have a kitchenaid because i’m not bougie like that but my hand mixer did the trick, I just didn’t rely on the times he suggested for mixing the dough, I had to eyeball it
Love the channel and the recipes. Great cookies. I’ll be making them often. Working on perfecting the rustic bread recipe too. Thanks
Brilliant! That. Is. A. YES!!
J’adore !!!
Clair et pro !!
Bravo 👍👍👍🍾🎉
Your channel is amazing. Love all your vids!
I love the salad spinner sifting hack. Great recipe, as always :)
Thanks for watching
You know it's a good recipe when you do everything completely differently and it still turns out fantastic.
So glad I discovered this channel, such good comfort content
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for being here.
I love how well-researched and thought through your videos are. Also, anticipating where cooks might go wrong and giving them a heads up - huge! Wish I had a chef like you when I was in the kitchen.
Plus, he’s hilarious!
I fell in love with this recipe!
Im go glad thanks for watching!
I dont usually like chocolate chip cookies but these are SO good. Made them for my husband's birthday. These are definitely our new go to recipe.
I made these cookies. Bry. This dough crushes my man. Absolutely nailed them. Hands down best cookies I've ever made.
Thanks!
Trying this weekend, super excited. Should have results by Sunday.
Update: Super delicious! I loved this cookie recipe it is an adults chocolate chip cookie, not too sweet the perfect amount of salt and crispy and soft at the same time. Thick but not cakey.
As always, great video!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I am about to engage in my own R&D ….
I'm new to the party, but my family and my daughter's friends LOVE these. I can confirm that the cookies are delicious with the recipe as given AND as gluten-free by replacing the AP flour with 1:1. Lastly, the dough also freezes really well. I've taken to making two batches at a time, scooping the dough out into the individual cookie portions, vacuum sealing, and freezing the dough. They still bake in 18-20 minutes and come out perfect. Great to have on hand as an easy, quick homemade dessert! Can't recommend the recipe enough.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
So looking forward to these.
Thank you’. Can’t wait to make these. Yummmm
Yum!!! Happy New Year!!
Happy new year!
I finally made these cookies and oh, my, goodness. So good!
Glad you like them! I worked real hard on this recipe.
Nice butter, nice chocolate, nice cookies! Thanks.
You are very talented, well done
Brian...You are a genius! I thank you!
Thanks for trying!
I'm reviewing this again to make another batch. I'm chuckling over the shot you made of the cookies that "failed" due to mixing the eggs too hard. You have a high bar! That failure looks pretty dang good to me! These are terrific. We bake a couple and freeze the rest. It's so nice to pull them out a couple at a time for baking.
They looks awesome.
Thanks razor
My daughter and I are taking these on today! Big love from the UK. 👊
Good luck. I just remade these last week. Can confirm they work
So much knowledge I love it can’t w8 to try them all 🙌🏿🇧🇧
Oh boy Steve will be excited for these!!!
Looks great. I’m going to make this recipe. I agree with you on the brown butter. I’m normally a fan of ATK recipes, but their “perfect chocolate chip cookie” recipe was just ok. I like brown butter sauce, but not in a chocolate chip cookie. Creamed butter is the way to go. 😋
Thank you so much for the transcript! I have a hard enough time remembering things I hear properly, and with little kids running around, I'd never be able to bake these if you didn't have the transcripts going along with it.
Tried it. Loved it l.
This is the best and easy choco chip cookies recipe. I followed all the steps and just change the chocolate with a 72% cacao choco bar that available in my local store. This is fenomenal!
This channel is gonna blow up for sure. Excellent quality content here
Thanks Michael! I Hope you are right
It already did…it’s a carbon copy of Josh Weisserman’s channel.
@@gmflash88 there are definitely some similarities but a bit unfair to call it a carbon copy. Brian shows us what things will look like if you mess up and why, he doesn't put obnoxious music over his B roll, and has more of a specialty on baking/baking tangential stuff. Besides, as a new, up and coming creator it takes time to find your voice so we should cut him some slack
I NEED TO TRY THESE
Yum! I'm gonna have to try!
Thanks for watching.
I thought my cc cookie recipe was good, so I glossed over this one.. until today. Thank you, thank you, thank you! So perfect, even with my own add - a dusting of Ceylon cinnamon before bake. Can’t talk right now.. gotta get some milk. My family appreciates you🤗
Thanks for trying SUE!
I've never baked cookies from scratch before and I'm a kitchen rookie but a good critic none the less haha! These tuned out great first attempt and video was great to learn from!
These are amazing! I gave them as surprises to friends - they were wow'd!!! Especially a baker friend. Ended up with 9 (113-115 g) cookies. Used a 4 T scoop (approx. .5 cup). Another keeper!!!
I also ended up with 9 1/2 cup cookies.
Love this video
I’m definitely making these!
Good luck
I'm over here in Iowa trying to be on a diet while I rewatch your videos to decide which one should be a future cheat meal😂
Haha these cookies are pretty dope I’m not going to lie.
Haha get it, @kayla
😂😂
My friends made this for me, best cookies I’ve ever tasted. So I’m gonna try making them myself for my friends :) ❤
You’re channel rocks dude...!
Thanks man, glad to have you here.
I recently just make chocolate chip cookies and I but half and half of all purpose flour and bread flour. And got good results an your chocolate chip cookies looks amazing.
Hi there, came across your chocolate chip recipe after I sort of failed with one from America's Test Kitchen. The one thing I immediately loved was the fact that the measurements are in metric and I wholeheartedly agree that it makes for a more replicable recipe. So far, i've made it 3 times and I've gotten nothing but rave reviews for it. I did have to make a few adjustments, namely that I had to mix it all manually and that I had no brown sugar. I got around the brown sugar by using all white sugar but adding 2 Tablespoons of molasses to get "dark brown sugar" in the bowl. Everything else came out beautifully and I want to thank you again for this recipe.
Made these last night
Delicious
I just discovered your channel and I'm loving every single video. I'll be making these cookies this weekend because chocolate chip cookies are the favorite 'round these parts and these ones look perfect.
Any thoughts on adding cornstarch to cookie dough?
Nice job !
Brian, these are really damn good cookies! I'm not a fan of typical chocolate chip cookie but with the addition of salt and dark chocolate, and your other recipe recommendations, damn good and will always use this recipe, seriously. Thanks!
I hope so, I have yours in the frigerator ready to bake tomorrow ✅🔥looks amazing 🤙🤙
I just made this recipe and damn are those some good cookies! The main difference between this and say the standard Toll House recipe are the creamed butter which makes the cookies super soft and real chocolate which makes it wonderfully melty. That's the second recipe from this channel that has blown me away to the point where I don't see any reason to go back to my old way of doing it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks very much for giving these a try Tom. Thanks for watching my vids.
Made these today and this is my new go-to cookie recipe. Even with some adjustments they were perfect. We don’t have a stand mixer and wanted smaller cookies, here’s what I did:
-Used hand mixer vs stand mixer, for about half the time as he did on the stand mixer
-Used light brown sugar vs dark brown (didn’t have dark)
-Didn’t do the extra chocolate on top, still turned out perfect
-Only chilled for an hour - the cookies spread a little more than his but not too much (in future I’d chill them for longer)
-Made them about 2/3 size of his, so they were done in ~15 mins
These cookies are freakin amazing. Seriously, have tried a bunch of different recipes and this is the best so far.
Thank you Andy. My budget doesn't allow for a stand mixer and I almost closed the video the second he said "This recipe starts with a stand mixer"
I wanted to ask him to make something with a hand mixer too, but I see that you have already used it, thank you.
Nothing better than a fresh warm chocolate chip cookie with a glass of ice cold milk. Yum..
SO, I made these, and the moment my chilled dough balls hit the pan, they started melting into a very unflattering puddle. I saved the dough by taking them out before they cooked and splatting the rest onto the pan to create a GIANT cookie. It was really freakin’ good, but I definitely went wrong somewhere.
Could not creaming the butter and sugar long enough cause this? I don’t have a stand mixer and my handheld one was making it a bit difficult, so I quit a little early. It seemed pretty well combined but I don’t think it was quite there.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t whip the dough too much, either, but I could’ve without remembering.
