Big, Fat and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (step by step photos)

Cookie is a small, flat, baked treat, usually containing fat, flour, eggs and sugar. This term is used in the United States and Canada. In most English-speaking countries outside North America, the most common term for this is biscuit. Today’s recipe is adapted from: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/best-big-fat-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookie/. These cookies are big, fat and chewy like the one at bakeries and specialty shops.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour 
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 
• 1/2 cup white sugar 
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 
• 1 egg 
• 1 egg yolk 
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions 

1. Preheat the oven to 165 degrees C. Grease cookie sheets 

    or line with parchment paper. 

2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. 

3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown 

    sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla,

    egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted 

    ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by

    hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at

    a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be 

    about 3 inches apart. 

 

4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the 

    edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few 

    minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
