SOFT EASY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C / 350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan / convection). Place oven shelf in the middle of the oven.
• Line 2 trays with baking / parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
• Place the butter in a large heatproof bowl. Microwave until the butter is almost fully melted (25 sec for room temp butter, 40 sec for fridge cold butter on high).
• Whisk to finish melting the butter. (Note 2)
• Add brown and white sugar, whisk energetically for 15 seconds.
• Add egg, yolk and vanilla, whisk well for 15 seconds.
• Add flour mixture and mix until flour is almost fully incorporated.
• Add 1 cup chocolate chips, stir to disperse and flour is fully incorporated. Batter will be quite loose.
• Stand for 5 minutes for batter to firm up a bit so it is scoop-able into mounds. (Note 3)
• LARGE COOKIES: Scoop up a level ice cream scoop / 3 tbsp / 1/4 cup (Note 4) and place on baking trays 5cm / 2" apart - 13 balls. Top with remaining choc chips (these remain on surface once baked = prettier).
• SMALL COOKIES (26 - 30): Scoop up 1.5 tbsp (heaped tbsp measure) OR 1/2 an ice cream scoop (this works well). Place on baking trays 4cm / 1.75" apart, top with choc chops.
• Bake 1 tray at a time. LARGE COOKIES: Bake for 8 minutes, then rotate the tray and bake for 3 minutes (11 minutes in total). SMALL COOKIES: Bake 6 minutes, turn then bake 3 minutes (9 min total). The cookies should be just golden on the edges and pale golden on top. They will be slightly puffed up.
• Cool on the tray - they finish cooking. They will lose the puffiness while resting. Dig in and get your cookie fix!

ULTIMATE HIGH ALTITUDE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter just until blended, then mix in the chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed. Drop cookies by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets spacing 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

PERFECTLY PUFFY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In a glass bowl, microwave the butter for about 40 seconds to just barely melt it. It shouldn't be hot - but it should well on it's way to liquid form; remove from microwave.
• Using a stand mixer, beat the melted butter with both sugars until creamy about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and the egg; beat on low speed until just incorporated.
• Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until a soft dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand with a large wooden or similar sturdy spoon.
• Roll the dough into 16 largish balls and divide between two cookie sheets that have been lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies look puffy and just barely golden. Take care not to over bake the cookies as they'll continue to bake as they cool on the pan. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
• Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter or in the fridge- they're my favorite when just chilled! The cookies also freeze beautifully.
