The BEST CHEWY Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

in this video I'm going to share with you one of my favorite chewy chocolate chip cookie recipes and at the end of the video I'm gonna show you a way that you can freeze that cookie dough that way you can make fresh baked cookies whenever you're craving and I'll also show you how we store these cookies that way they stay nice and fresh and soft even days after your baking [Music] what's good everyone if this is the first time we're meeting my name is Philip Lemoine and I'm actually a full-time cinematographer but I love to cook before I jump into this recipe I just want to quickly plug my youtube channel aside from all of my vlogging and business book I also post a ton of cooking videos with honestly just great tasting tried and true recipes for dishes that I make not just weekly but even on special occasions there are even a couple of videos where I share some of my favorite dishes made with my mom I try and post a video a week so if you want to catch more then make sure you spank that subscribe button so there's like a million chocolate-chip cookie recipes on the internet and I swear to you I've tried every single one of them including BuzzFeed tasties perfect chocolate chip cookie although I think all of them are great a few of them just had some of those extra ingredients or extra steps that I just didn't think we're necessary and I always kept coming back to this recipe that I found on all recipes mom I think that all chocolate chip cookie recipes are kind of the same but what makes them big and chewy is the way that you incorporate those ingredients and the ingredients where these chocolate chip cookies are going to be 2 cups of all-purpose flour 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda 1/2 teaspoon of salt 3/4 cups of unsalted butter about a stick and a half and you're going to want this melted 1 cup of packed brown sugar 1/2 cup of white sugar one tablespoon of vanilla extract 1 egg and one egg yolk and 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips or a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips the first step is to preheat the oven to 325 degrees next you're going to sift together the flour baking soda and salt then set that to the side the secret to making the chocolate chip cookies chewy is that we're gonna melt the butter we're gonna end up mixing everything in the butter so I'm just gonna melt it right into my large bowl [Music] so once the butter is melted I'm just gonna go ahead and mix in both the brown and the white sugar and I'm gonna keep mixing that up until it's all creamy and all together [Music] [Music] next you're gonna beat in the vanilla egg and egg yolk until it's light and creamy after you'll mix and sifted ingredients until just blended so at this point I added all the dry ingredients and you don't want to over mix it you just want to mix it to the point where your forearms on fire and then I think you're pretty much good show the cookie dough should look something like this [Music] so now I'm gonna go ahead and add one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and then we'll go ahead and mix that all together you're gonna want to make sure you use a wooden spoon when you do this [Music] sometimes it's helpful to use a spatula to sort of get everything off of the wooden spoon and what I like about this spatula is I got these little rubber like into it and it kind of forms to the bowl that way you can kind of work all the ingredients in together and kind of work everything off the bowl and back into it so so now that the cookie dough is all ready to go what I did is I went ahead and I lined a cookie sheet with some parchment paper and I have this one ounce ice cream scoop that I'm going to be using I think this is like a good size for not too large cookie and you can fit a few I think you can fit about six to eight on this cookie sheet I'll be sure to put a link in the bio for one of these I think they're great I use them for a lot of my recipes and one ounce seems to be the magic number for a lot of the things that I use it for so so I'm going to go ahead and scoop out a few of these cookies I'm gonna put them on this baking sheet [Music] you want to make sure to keep these cookies just a couple inches apart because they will spread when you bake now that I got these all ready to go in the oven you're gonna let them bake for about 15 to 17 minutes just want to keep an eye on them and once they start to get golden brown around the edges that's when you'll want to pull them out and let them cool so anytime that I make these cookies what I actually like to do is I'd like to make a huge batch usually I'll triple the recipe that I put online and what I'll do is I'll scoop out a bunch of individual cookies and I'll place them close together on a piece of parchment paper and then what I'll do is I'll throw this into the freezer and I'll pour freeze these I'll let them go overnight in the freezer and then what I'll do is I'll take them out once they're frozen and then I'll put those into a bag and that way whenever we're craving cookies we don't have to go through the whole process of mixing everything together we already have a bunch of individual cookies frozen in our freezer I wouldn't recommend baking them directly out of the freezer what I would say is maybe at least let them thaw out maybe come to room temperature before you throw them in the oven and then just bake them like you normally would at 325 degrees for about 15 to 17 minutes so once the cookies are done you're gonna want to go ahead and let them rest on the cookie sheet for a little bit before you transfer them over to a cooling rack cooling rack isn't super necessary but I think they're really great I mean aside from just cloning out cookies I do like to place other things on here so that it cools off quicker as well as doesn't get soggy for example when I fry things I like to put them on the rack that way the oil can drip down and it's not sitting on like a napkin and a plate or just getting it soggy sitting in its own grease so I highly recommend one and I'll put a link in the description I mean I probably just grab [Music] and there they are folks my favorite chewy chocolate chip cookie I'm not really sure how I could show you they're chewy maybe I could break one in half [Music] take a look at the inside here I'm going to take a bite breach so if I could describe the texture of these cookies I would say that the outside has a nice soft crunch to it but the inside is a really dense chewy middle and that chew is sort of like a caramel like the type of chew so it's really chewy and that's even the flavor to a nice current caramely chocolaty cookie flavor so I think what really got me hooked to these cookies was honestly like a day or two later they're still chewy and they're still nice and soft and they still have that same crunch and I feel like most cookie recipes that I've tried in the past you know once you bake them and you put them away like next day they're brick hard and you know they lost that like nice soft fresh-baked texture and I feel like these stay true to their texture and their chew even days after so I actually like to store these cookies in these food saver containers and what they do is they actually vacuum seal these and it sucks all of the air to these containers which lets them last so much longer I think a lot of people avoid purchasing a food saver mainly because they think that they have to use those resealable bags but honestly I use mostly in mason jars and these reusable containers to store most of our food because of the different container sizes you can store different types of food in different amounts of food and I really think that this thing will pay for itself over time because there's so many times we've bought food in bulk and it just went bad before we can eat it all I really wish this video was sponsored by food saver but it's not and even though it's not I mean still would highly recommend one it's something that we use daily it sits on our countertop and like I said we've saved so much food which in turn saved us so much money so I'll be sure to leave a link in the bio for where you can purchase one in Amazon there's a bunch of different models this one is the fancy one that feeds the plastic bags which I don't think it's necessary like I said we mainly use the reusable containers as well as mason jars so thank you guys so much again for watching if you enjoyed this video please be sure to hit the like button and if you want to see more videos just like this make sure you
