How to Make Chris Morocco's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies: Bon Appétit Test #25

Today I'm testing out BA's BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie developed by Chris Morocco from the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. What makes it the best? Well, for starters Chris developed this recipe to be made without a stand mixer! In the past you've seen me test the Brown Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie and BA's Best Salty Chocolate Chunk Cookie -- so how does this recipe stack up? Well, it's got a mix of brown butter and melted butter, so the flavor is a little bit nutty and complex. And with a higher proportion of dark brown sugar this cookie packs some serious flavor. Let me take you step-by-step through how to make the best chewy, crispy, and gooey chocolate chip cookie.

Spot on about the flour. I also added 25 extra grams the next batch and they came out nicer. Chilling your dough will also control the crazy spread. I used >70% dark choc and added flaky salt on top. Gives a nice contrast to the bitter chocolate 🍫.

I absolutely agree, it needed more AP, and also, I would say that if you don't like them that flat, it benefits from refrigeration.

I refrigerated mine overnight and they were thicker. They didn't spread at all with just 200 grams.

Hello! May I ask if there was any discernible difference between the three tablespoon cookie compared to the 1 1/2 in terms of texture or taste? Thank you!

[nalzazlan]

I tried this recipe twice. Yes mine spread too much as well. But the flavor was on point. I will try again with more flour. Maybe 30 to 40 grams more.
