Everyone has their ideal chocolate chip cookie. Some like them thin and crispy, others thick and chewy. Here’s how to customize your cookies to perfection.
For Chewy Cookies
- Use more brown sugar than white
- Add an extra egg yolk
- Use melted butter
- Chill the dough before baking
- Underbake slightly
For Crispy Cookies
- Use more white sugar
- Use room temperature butter, creamed well
- Flatten dough balls before baking
- Bake a minute or two longer
The Chocolate Matters
Skip the chips and chop a quality chocolate bar instead. You’ll get those beautiful irregular puddles of chocolate and better flavor. We recommend at least 60% cacao.
The Rest Rule
Let your dough rest in the fridge for 24-72 hours. The flavors develop and the texture improves dramatically. Trust us on this one.
