For those wondering what the difference is between baking soda and baking powder: *Powder Puffs, Soda Spreads*. If you want large, thin cookies, use baking soda. If you prefer diametrically smaller but much puffier cookies, use baking powder. Or use both, it's up to you.

Why would anyone dislike these videos, chef John is so nice, his recipes are so good too!

I've tried SO many cookie recipes and I just made this one today... I can't even began to describe how f* AMAZING this recipe is I didn't even know you could have such an experience with a cookie. I aggressively recommend everyone to do this recipe right NOW, I have severe migraines and this made my week. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

People are sitting here complaining about the damn cookies like they're gonna get some lol. There's a billion videos about how to make regular cookies, go watch those if this isn't your thing. These cookies are making my mouth water right now lol I love thin crispy cookies 🍪

For those that have tried this recipe and not gotten the flat cookies like John, you might want to try weighing the dry ingredients, rather than using measuring cups. The first time I tried this recipe I measured the flour with my measuring cup and my cookies did NOT come out flat. They were regular looking cookies. I decided to try one more time, but this time I used a digital scale and the cookies came out perfect and flat, just like John’s. Flour, 2 1/4 cups=270 grams. Sugar, 1 cup=198 grams. Brown sugar, 1/2 cup=99 grams. If you weigh the dry ingediemnts, you may get the results you’re looking for.

These are now my new “go to” chocolate chip cookie recipe. I sprinkled a little tiny bit of flaky salt on top (the fancy kind) and it taste so good. I also added walnuts because to me chocolate chip cookies just aren’t perfect without them. Thanks for this recipe, Chef John!

Ingredients for about 32 Chocolate Chip Cookies (depending on size):
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (or 3/4 teaspoon of fine table salt)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks (1 cup) very soft unsalted *butter (be sure the butter is room temp, and very, very soft!)
*I used a high-quality European-style butter, and recommend you do the same. Cheaper butters will have more water content, which can affect the fat ratio, and thickness of your cookie.
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1 large egg
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Bake at 375 F. for about 12 minutes

My dad used to make these! Best ever! Brought me to tears! 😭 I can still taste them with the texture!

Chef John... I'm trying to curb my cravings at night and then you post THIS?!?

[emmasgoodies]

We love your fake mustache! =)
And cookies of course!

Just so you know, when I feel a bit down and unsure of the world around me I come looking for a video of yours. Not only do I learn from you and get inspired to make better food for myself but your tone cheers me up. Thank you for that.

I happened upon you approx a year ago. This post is 12/04/18. DUDE YOU ROCK!! I've tried several of your recipes. So far only 2 I didn't care for. Hey... We can't like everything. I enjoy cooking. When I was a youngster I would help my mom prepare grubs. Was hooked ever since. She's gone since 06 and I miss her dearly. I'm 54 and hope you out live me so I can die with a happy tummy. Keep your foot on the gas👍

I baked these for Christmas, and they were delicious! As promised, they were crisp around the edges and chewy gooey in the center. This is my new favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe, and I'm definitely going to bake them again in the future.

[TheMochaluver]

Tried this recipe out today and they turned out buttery, crispy and chewy -- everything you could ask for from a chocolate chip cookie! If anyone is having trouble with their dough not spreading thin enough, try placing an empty baking tray on the rack below for the first 6 minutes to let the dough spread and remove for the last 6 minutes allow the bottom and edges to caramelize. If it's still not spreading as much as you like, try lowering the oven temp to 350F :)

I cannot thank you enough! I’ve been trying for years to make these kind of choc. chip cookies, and now I finally I’ve asked others for their secret and they would never share. You’re so nice to share this recipe!!!

[Crux]

Chilling the dough (Best results start after three days in the freezer) allows the flour to properly hydrate, improves browning, and also seems to help the dough to "shrink less"... The dough can be made in advance and stored in the freezer for 1 to 3 months thereabouts. Just divide into 1 tablespoon portions and freeze in a Ziploc bag. And they're ready to bake whenever you want fresh baked cookies.

I have to admit, at first i was like " i dont like cookie crisps, i think that they are better soft, chewy and slightly gooey." But i was WRONG. Even though i didnt think that u would like it, it was AMAZING and very delicious! Thank you Chef John ^_^
