🍪The best chocolate chip cookies are soft and chewy, not crunchy.
🍫Using high-quality chocolate chips is crucial for a delicious cookie.
🥚Adding an extra egg yolk to the dough creates a tender and moist texture.
🧈Using melted butter instead of softened butter gives the cookies a rich and buttery flavor.
🥣Letting the dough rest in the fridge for at least 24 hours enhances the flavors and improves the texture.
What type of flour should I use?
—Use all-purpose flour for a balanced texture, or a combination of all-purpose and cake flour for a lighter cookie.
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
—While butter is the best option for flavor, you can use margarine as a substitute. Keep in mind that the texture and taste may vary slightly.
How do I prevent my cookies from spreading too much?
—Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent excessive spreading. You can also reduce the amount of sugar and increase the flour for a thicker cookie.
Should I use milk or dark chocolate?
—It depends on your preference. Milk chocolate gives a sweeter taste, while dark chocolate adds a deeper flavor. You can even use a combination of both.
Can I freeze the dough for later use?
—Yes, you can freeze the dough in individual portions and bake them whenever you crave fresh cookies. Just make sure to let the dough thaw before baking.
