"the Chewy" Chocolate Chip Cookies

"This has been a family and friend, and enemy, and everybody else's favorite for many years. It is a close adaptation from GE. If it is not broke, hey don't fix it. (Bread flour and the melted butter are the keys here, do not exchange). Also these cookies are not as good hot as they are when they have cooled"

directions

  • Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda.
  • Pour the butter into your stand mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar and beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole egg, the egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract in a measuring cup.
  • Reduce the mixer speed and slowly add the egg mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the dry ingredients, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Once the flour is worked in, drop the speed to "stir" and add the chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Scoop the dough into 1 in balls, and place onto parchment-lined half sheet pans.
  • Bake for 9 minutes, (8-11 minutes, times may vary due to ovens and elevations), rotating the pans halfway through. Remove from the oven, let cool on pan for 2 minutes then move onto a cooling rack and wait at least 5 minutes before devouring, but overnight is better.
  • ***Want to really add to this recipe, replace the chocolate chips, with white chocolate chips and add 1/2 cup of chopped macadamia nuts. yum!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

As my moniker might display, I am a chef and I work in a laboratory. I have working a healthcare lab for the past 18 years. With the exception of the two years that took a break and went culinary school. Let me tell you, working with food is fun, but it really does not pay the bills. So I went back into healthcare. Now I just cook for my friends and family. One thing that I learned in culinary school is once you have the techniques of cooking, you can cook just about anything. I am not saying go out and spend tens of thousands of dollars on culinary school. But try to learn as much about cooking techniques as you can, take a class at your local continuing education location, read a lot, there are many great teaching cooking shows (Good Eats), and of course there is always YouTube. But most of all, cook what you love, and have fun. Do not let cooking be a "I have 30 minutes to make a meal before I have to do X." Cook on your days off or weekends, play some music, have some wine, but have fun. If it does not turn out, do not get mad, but try to figure out why it did not turn out. It usually either a bad recipe, or bad technique.
