• Bake till edges are nicely browned i.e. for about 10 minutes.

CRISPY AND CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and creamy, about 3 minutes (it should resemble fluffy frosting).
• Add the eggs and vanilla and mix on low until completely combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
• Add the flour mixture all at once and mix on low until just combined (stop mixing as soon as there are no dry spots of flour in the dough - do not overmix).
• Add the chocolate chips and mix into the batter on low just until combined.
• Transfer the mixing bowl to the refrigerator and refrigerate for 20 minutes while the oven heats. (This step is important as the cold dough is key to the soft centers of the cookies.)
• Heat oven to 350°F / 177°C.
• Lightly grease a sheet pan or line it with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper.
• Use a tablespoon measuring spoon (use the measuring spoon as a guide, but make these "heaping" tablespoons with dough rounded over the top) to scoop out even portions of cold cookie dough. (Note: Be sure that the cookie dough is about the size of a golf ball. If the cookies are smaller than this they won't spread out enough to have soft, chewy centers.)
• Arrange the cookie dough on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space for the cookies to spread out.
• Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown and the centers are still very pale and soft (they will continue to firm up and darken after you remove them from the oven), 9 to 12 minutes.
• When you remove the sheet pan from the oven, tap it firmly on the kitchen counter a few times to deflate the cookies (this step helps to give the cookies lightly crinkled edges and a dense center).
• Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with flaked sea salt (this is optional and you may not need the full amount; just add a small pinch on top of each cookie if you want that salty crunch).
• Leave the cookies on the sheet pan to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. (Note: If you try to move them too early they may fall apart, but will firm up as they cool.)
• Store cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

CRISP & CHEWY MOLASSES COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, ginger, and sugar. Add the soft butter, molasses and egg beating until smooth (about 2 minutes).
• Lightly stir in the rolled oats, just until mixed. Use a level tablespoon of the dough for each cookie. Drop the dough 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, do not over bake. If you like chewy cookies, remove them from the oven earlier (they will be lighter colour in the middle).
• Allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheets a minute or so to get firm before removing then to a cooling rack.
• When cool, store in an air tight container.

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl.
• Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (Use the paddle attachment for a stand mixer.) Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and beat until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
• Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Use a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to scoop half the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Chill the remaining dough while you bake the first batch.
• Bake at 375 degrees until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cool the baking sheets completely, then line with parchment paper and repeat the scooping and baking process with the remaining dough.

CRISP AND CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat butter with both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on medium-high speed until light and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Stop beating and add flour, then beat on low to combine. Add both chocolates and beat to combine. (If you are working in a warm room and/or dough feels sticky or soft, refrigerate about 15 minutes before scooping and baking.)
• Using a 2-ounce (1/4-cup) scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart (6 cookies per sheet); press each down to flatten slightly.
• Top each cookie with a few large, flat pieces of chopped chocolate or whole féves (if desired). Bake one sheet of cookies 9 minutes; remove from oven and bang sheet on stove top or counter to deflate. Return to oven and bake 3 minutes; remove and bang again, then return to oven and bake until golden around edges and just barely set in centers, about 3 minutes more.
• Transfer sheet to a wire rack and let cool 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a rack with a spatula; let cool completely. Repeat with remaining sheets, one at a time. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or frozen up to 2 months.
