What are chocolate chip cookies?

Chocolate chip cookies are America's no 1 cookie in my book. I mean just like Mac and cheese chocolate chip cookies are an American staple. So what are they and what's the hype? They are little cookies filled with bits of chocolate goodness in form of chocolate chips or chunks.

So..... How do you Make Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Chocolate chip cookies are made with your regular cookie ingredients but in varied amounts then it's loaded with chocolates bits in it YUM! They can be chewy or crunchy depending on how you like yours..

Chocolate chip cookies are usually made with a combination of brown and white sugar. You can use chocolate chips, chocolate chunks or you could cut up a good quality chocolate bar into chunks.

 

Tips to get your chocolate chip cookie right!

First you would need to decide if you want your chocolate chip cookie soft and chewy or crunchy.

For Chewy chocolate chip cookies

  • An extra egg yolk, adds to the texture of a chewy chocolate chip cookie.
  • The addition of corn starch adds to the soft texture
  • Melted butter also helps with texture because because you can't incorporate so much air when mixing melted butter with the sugar.
  • If you want an even 'chewy-er' (is that even a word lol?) cookie use the lower limit of the baking time.

For Crunchy Chocolate chip cookies

  • If you want your chocolate chip cookie crunchy, do not use the extra egg yolk
  • Bake a minute more than the stipulated baking time.
  • The cookie will come out soft but gardens as it cools.

Chocolate chip cookies common questions and answers

Do I have to use the egg yolk?

No you don't have to use the extra egg yoke but if your truly want a chewy chocolate chip cookie I would strongly recommend it.

Do I have to use corn starch?

No you don't have to use corn starch to make a good chocolate chip cookie. I prefer to adding it because it makes the cookie

Can I freeze the Cookie dough?

Yes you can. Scoop out the dough by tablespoonful place them on a baking sheet then freeze till firm. Transfer frozen cookie dough into a freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ever uuu are ready to bake it. Transfer to a cookie sheet and let thaw a bit on the counter then bake. You can also freeze the baked cookies. Simply let them cook them pack them in freezer bag in smaller batches and freeze.

What kind of chocolate should I use?

You can use any chocolate you like. Semi sweet, milk chocolate. Dark chocolate or unsweetened. You can either use chocolate chips, chocolate chunks or cut up regular chocolate bars.

Armed with these tips and tricks? Hope you get to give this yum cookie a try. And if you do you can take a picture and tag @mydiasporakitchen on Instagram I would love to see your yummy creations.

Love,
