PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter until smooth and then add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix for 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping the sides down as needed.
• Next add the eggs and vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until smooth.
• Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour until incorporated.
• Stir in both chocolates.
• Form about 1/4 cup of cookie dough into a balls and place on baking sheet about 2 1/2 inches apart.
• Place remaining dough in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
• Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges are golden. Tops of cookies might seem undercooked. Make sure to not over-bake!
• Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
• Repeat with remaining dough.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars for 3 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and cafe au lait-colored (use high speed on a hand mixer and medium speed on a stand mixer). Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat for 2 minutes more. Scrape down the bowl. Add the salt and baking soda and beat briefly until evenly combined. Add the flour and both chocolates, and mix on low speed until the flour is completely blended and the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or scrape the dough into an airtight container and let rest in the refrigerator until firm, a few hours. (Alternatively, if you don't want to wait, form the dough into balls on the baking sheet as instructed below and chill in the fridge until firm, about 30 minutes.)
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drop the dough in firmly packed 1.5-tablespoon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (I use a #40/1.5-T cookie scoop with a wire trigger.) Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until golden around the edges but still soft and pale in the center. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Note: Some readers have had issues with the cookies being flat. This can happen as a result of using a "softer" flour. I highly recommend King Arthur All Purpose Flour for this recipe -- it's high in protein and gluten, and helps cookies hold their shape.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) The baked cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Cream the butter and two sugars until light and fluffy in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt and add to the butter with the mixer on low speed, mixing only until combined. Fold in the walnuts and chocolate chunks.
• Drop the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, using a 1 3/4-inch-diameter ice cream scoop or a rounded tablespoon. Dampen your hands and flatten the dough slightly. Bake for exactly 15 minutes (the cookies will seem underdone). Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK SHARE COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Place the butter, both the sugars, egg, vanilla, flour, baking soda and cocoa in a food processor and process until a dough forms.
• Press the dough out to a 10-inch round on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper, scatter with the chocolate and lightly press the pieces into the dough. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until firm to the touch. Allow to cool slightly on the tray. Serve warm with ice cream and caramel sauce.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK AND CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Weigh and measure the flour, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl. Set aside. Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low speed until light, airy and creamy, 3 minutes. Meanwhile in a mixing bowl, combine both sugars, then, turn off the mixer and add to the butter. Turn on the mixer and continue beating the butter and sugar, 3 minutes. Add the molasses and continue to beat for 30 seconds. Add the dry ingredients, a bit at a time to just absorb the butter/sugar mixture, followed by the egg until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and the chocolate and mix just until combined. Scrape the outside of the bowl to make sure the dough is fully mixed. Chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Using an ice cream scoop, scoop dough and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Alternate the cookies on the sheet so they bake evenly and place in the middle of the oven to bake for 14 minutes.
• Remove to cool on rack.

QUADRUPLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients., Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes or until set. Cool on pans 1 minute. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cream the butter or margarine with the brown sugar until light. Add the egg and mix well.
• Stir in the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Mix in the nuts and the 4 ounces of the bittersweet, milk and white chocolates.
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool slightly. Dip cooled cookies into the Three Chocolate Glaze.
• To Make Three Chocolate Glaze: Heat 1 teaspoon of the shortening with bittersweet chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Dip each cookie 1/2 inch deep into chocolate along one edge. Repeat with remaining shortening and chocolates. Rotate dipped edge of cookie for each type of chocolate.
