These cookies are the pinnacle of perfection! If you want big, fat, chewy cookies like the kind you see at bakeries and specialty shops, these are the ones for you!
Preheat oven to 165 degrees C. Grease baking trays or line with baking paper.
2.
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
3.
In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg and egg yolk until light and creamy, then add 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 on to the baking trays. Cookies should be about 8cm apart.
4.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool on trays for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
These cookies never rise! The dough is always too runny and they always grow out rather than up and I end up with a cookie slab instead of individuals. Even tried using 1 cup SR Flour and 1 cup Plain to no avail. The first time I made them they were PERFECT, absolutely amazing but the 5 times I've tried since, they've been a failure. Boooo
made these for a very special occasion and boy i was not disappointed. They rise up nicely and don't just spread out to be thin like alot of recipes do. You can make the cookies alot smaller but you do have to make sure you watch them cook and make sure not to overcook them of course. One thing i do recommend is maybe a little less vanilla essence but they are still lovely if you follow the recipe. I just personally like them with a little less vanilla essence :p Also works amazingly well with white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips <3 people couldn't believe they weren't store bought so i recommend these cookies to anyone out there.
Delicious...just made these with my kids and they turned out super choclatey and crunchy.My son is allergic to egg white so we omitted the egg and added Orgran Egg Replacer(Mixed 1.5 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons water and then added as per recipe).Noone could tell the difference!
Made with my daughter, very easy and she will easily make next time on her own. Only thing will change next time is ommit the white sugar as found very sweet, and also I used about about 1cup choc chips. Thanks!!
Altered ingredient amounts.
Used a lot less choc chips (I used one bag, which was a bit over one cup) and it was still great. A good way to stretch the grocery budget!
I was really reticent to make this recipe because of the egg white that is leftover... but YUM! I am so glad I made them. Didn't use 2 cups of chocolate chips, about one cup, and used white and dark and the cookies are GREAT! I also used a 20 ml spoon to spoon them out and the size was perfect for us. Will definitely make it again, and will look for something to do with the egg white leftover
