What’s you favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe?

I’ve worked on this recipe for over a year. It’s is a combination of a different recipes with my own tweaks.


There’s so many different flour combinations you can use. Most people use completely all purpose flour. I like to use a combination of all purpose and bread flour because I read an article a long time ago about how the bread flour makes for a chewier cookie. And I really like the results of it.

And instead of actual chocolate chips, I chop whole chocolate bars to add. This gives the cookie those chocolate pools that you see all over social media. And it adds more chocolate to each cookie. Yum!

Throw in some pecans and you have one delicious cookie! So, here it is. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • Course salt to sprinkle on top

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter with both sugars. Add vanilla and egg. Mix in salt, baking soda, flour and cornstarch. Stir in chopped chocolate and pecans. Place into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. On a parchment lined baking sheet scoop rounds of the dough with a cookie scoop and place on baking sheet. Leave space between each one so they have room to spread. Sprinkle course salt on top of each. Bake for 8-10 minutes. When you get to 7 minutes, start watching them so they do not brown. They will look under baked when they are done. Cool for 10-15 until cookies are set.
