Directions

  1. 1Start with butter at approximately 62.50F for optimal creaming.
  2. 2Put granulated sugar and light brown sugar in the bowl first, then add the softened butter.
  3. 3Install the paddle attachment (not the whisk) on the stand mixer.
  4. 4Start mixing on low speed, then slowly increase the speed once ingredients start to get crumbly.
  5. 5Cream the butter and sugars for a couple of minutes longer than when the sugar is no longer visible, until the butter lightens in color and feels slightly gritty.
  6. 6Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl and mix them together thoroughly.
  7. 7Add the vanilla directly to the two eggs.
  8. 8With the mixer on low speed (around speed 2), add the egg mixture one at a time, waiting until the egg yolk is no longer visible before adding the second.
  9. 9Slowly add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) in about three doses, using a bent paper plate to control the delivery and keep the speed low to prevent flour from flying.
  10. 10Add the 340g of Nestle's brand chocolate chips to the dough.
  11. 11Turn up the speed and lift the head of the mixer to work all the batter off the paddle.
  12. 12Dose out the cookie dough using a 1 1/2 tablespoon disher, rounded, aiming for about 10 cookies per baking sheet.
  13. 13Bake the cookies; consider rotating the pans halfway through for even baking.

Tips

  • Weigh flour for consistent results instead of using volume measurements.
  • Cream butter and sugar until the butter lightens in color and there's only a little grit from the sugar.
  • Add wet ingredients like eggs slowly to the creamed butter and sugar.
  • Add flour in about three doses, mixing on low speed to prevent it from flying around.
  • Heat treat flour by baking it at 3000F for about 10 minutes to kill E. coli if you plan to eat raw dough.
  • Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cooking.
