The Food Lab Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Food Lab set out to make the best chocolate chip cookie. With crisp edges and a chewy center, these cookies are no joke.
It’s been a month since I posted about why I had been away for so long and how I was going to be back soon with more recipes. I guess “soon” is a relative term so maybe a month qualifies as soon, but I still feel like it’s been to long.
Instead of dwelling on that, let’s get to this recipe. We all know that I have a go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe that I’ve made time and time again. No matter what combination of mix-ins I use, they’re always a hit. Sure, they’re a bit fussy with browned butter and a 24+ hour chill time. But they’re worth every minute of effort.
So when I saw this post pop up on Serious Eats, I was initially only intrigued at the science behind developing the perfect chocolate chip cookie. After reading through the (lengthy) article, I was more than intrigued. I knew I’d be baking a batch of these guys at some point soon.
An opportunity presented itself a couple weeks later (and by opportunity, I simply mean a day when I was craving something sweet and didn’t have much else going on). I set out to bake up the supposed best chocolate chip cookie ever.
The verdict? These are some really good cookies. They have a great texture from the chopped up chocolate instead of chocolate chips. One thing I always do is add multiple different flavors of chips since they all have a little different shape. This gives cookies more texture. Going forward, I’m going to chop up some of those chips or use chocolate chunks as well.
You also get this great chocolate-ness in every bite from the shards of chocolate floating around in the batter.
These cookies come out chewy in the center and just crispy enough without being overly crispy on the edges. And of course, sprinkling sea salt on the top of cookies is ALWAYS the right answer.
Overall, this is a solid chocolate chip cookie recipe. I prefer a thicker chewier cookie myself, so I’ll probably stick with my go-to recipe I mentioned above, but incorporate the idea of chopping some of the chocolate. Hubby made it clear that if I’m making cookies for him though, it has to be this recipe. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
Also, just wanted to mention that today is my 7th blogiversary! 7 years ago today, I hit publish for the first time. While it’s been slow around there these last few months, I’ve loved bringing recipes to you guys, documenting my growth in the kitchen, having a creative outlet, all while developing this little online community. So thanks for reading! I hope you continue to stick with me!
