Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies – Cook’s Illustrated

February 5, 2021May 16, 2018 by cookies

I’ve been making chocolate chip cookies forever, searching for the perfect recipe.

So, maybe just maybe this is the one.

Brown Butter chocolate chip cookies from the best food blog 5starcookies

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies – Cook’s Illustrated.

Shopping List

butter, brown and white sugar,eggs,vanilla extract
flour, baking soda,salt
semisweet chocolate chips

Action Time – Making Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

14 TBSP unsalted butter (2/3 cup + 1/4 cup)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 3/4 cup flour (AP)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chip cookies

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

BOWL #1: Whisk together flour and baking soda. Set aside.

BROWN THE BUTTER

Place 2/3 cup butter in light colored pot.

Start melting your butter over medium heat.

Begin stirring with a wooden spoon.

First, it will look like nothing is happening.

But be patient. The magic is about to happen.

Once butter is melted, it will begin to bubble and foam.

Keep stirring.

The color will change from sunshine, golden to a toasty brown.

So, what is happening?

The water evaporates and the milk solids say “bye, bye” to butterfat.

The milk solids are heavier than the fat and they sink down to the bottom of the pan.

Shortly, they will begin to brown.

As soon as I see those brown specks, I turn off the heat, take the pot off the stove.

But don’t stop stirring.

Keep stirring for about 1 minute or until you achieve that gorgeous, amber-brown color.

See step by step pictures below.

Stir the remaining 1/4 cup butter into the hot butter until completely melted.

Add the egg and egg yolk and whisk until mixture is fully smooth. (30 seconds)

Let the mixture stand for 3 minutes, whisk for 30 seconds

“Manic Monday”

Six o’clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin’ Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can’t be late
‘Cause then I guess I just won’t get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already madeIt’s just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
My I don’t have to run day
It’s just another manic MondayHave to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn’t make it on time
‘Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I’m gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already thereIt’s just another manic Monday
Wish it were Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
My I don’t have to run day
It’s just another manic MondayAll of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down?
(Last night, last night)
Doesn’t it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment’s down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
“C’mon honey, let’s go make some noise”
Time it goes so fast
(When you’re having fun)

5 Star Cookies - Cake View — 5 Star Cookies – Cake View

LADY IN RED

I’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright
I’ve never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They’re looking for a little romance, given half a chance
And I have never seen that dress you’re wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here, it’s just you and me
It’s where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I’ll never forget the way you look tonight

I’ve never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I’ve never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red, the lady in red
The lady in red, my lady in red

I love you

Have a nice week…
