World’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Claiming world’s best isn’t a term I don’t throw away lightly. After many tries and recipe adjustments, I finally hit the nail in the head with these chocolate chip cookies.
They are chewy, full of chocolate chunks and have a little crunch in each bite. The brown sugar gives it a molasses taste without overpowering the rest of the ingredients and it also helps with the texture.
Baking chocolate chip cookies is not only in the ingredients. It’s also the baking time, the cooling time and WHEN to bake them.
You have no idea the difference it makes when you make the cookie dough and let it chill in the fridge a couple of hours before entering the oven. I know it’s hard sometimes when you’re craving a cookie and want to bake it right away but in this case, your patience will be rewarded big time.
For this World’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe I took a few of the ingredients of the famous DoubleTree Hotel cookies and adapted them into mine.
My 2 secret ingredients are —> STEEL CUT OATS and LEMON JUICE. You can’t really tell they are there but they help improve the taste and texture of these cookies.
Also, cookies should be taken out of the oven when the tops brown a bit. If they feel underbaked don’t worry. As soon as you take them out of the oven, transfer them into a cooling rack. As they cool, they will “finish” cooking and develop that chewy texture.
I failed big time when I took them out too late. Even though they still felt a little soft in the center, the cookies ended up crunchy instead of the texture I was looking for. So keep in mind that a minute or two extra in the oven can ruin your cookies.
