CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Cream butter, sugars and vanilla until fluffy.
• Add eggs and mix well.
• In another bowl, mix baking soda, salt, cocoa and flour well.
• Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture gradually and mix well.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Drop by tablespoons onto a cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies remain on the cookie sheets for about 3 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and both sugars for 3 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and cafe au lait-colored (use high speed on a hand mixer and medium speed on a stand mixer). Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat for 2 minutes more. Scrape down the bowl. Add the salt and baking soda and beat briefly until evenly combined. Add the flour and both chocolates, and mix on low speed until the flour is completely blended and the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or scrape the dough into an airtight container and let rest in the refrigerator until firm, a few hours. (Alternatively, if you don't want to wait, form the dough into balls on the baking sheet as instructed below and chill in the fridge until firm, about 30 minutes.)
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drop the dough in firmly packed 1.5-tablespoon balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (I use a #40/1.5-T cookie scoop with a wire trigger.) Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until golden around the edges but still soft and pale in the center. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Note: Some readers have had issues with the cookies being flat. This can happen as a result of using a "softer" flour. I highly recommend King Arthur All Purpose Flour for this recipe -- it's high in protein and gluten, and helps cookies hold their shape.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) The baked cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

• In another bowl, beat the butter, sugars and vanilla extract until creamy. Beat in the egg. Gradually mix in the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate.
• Roll the dough into a sausage shape, about 5cm in diameter. Wrap it in cling film and keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• When you are ready to bake the cookies, cut the dough into 2cm thick slices and lay on a baking tray, spacing them wide apart (they will spread to about 10cm in diameter). Bake for 9-11 minutes.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Microwave 1 cup of the chocolate in microwavable bowl on HIGH 2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted; set aside. Mix flour, baking soda and salt until well blended; set aside.

Gradually add flour mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in remaining chopped chocolate. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake 11 to 13 minutes or just until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the center and top third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed until well blended, about 2 minutes; scrape down the bowl.
• Beat the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to the butter mixture and blend well; scrape the bowl again. On low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until just mixed; scrape down the bowl. Add the chocolate and optional nuts and mix until incorporated into the dough.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake, switching the position of the sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking, until the cookies are golden brown but the centers seem slightly underdone, about 13 minutes. Do not overbake or the cookies will be crisp throughout instead of chewy. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely. The cookies will crinkle as they cool. (Store at room temperature in airtight containers for up to 1 week.)
