How to make Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
This cookie dough is made from standard ingredients. Its the quantity that matters. Melted Butter is key to this recipe. It makes the chewiest cookies. I used unsalted butter. More of brown sugar and less white sugar. Brown sugar gives deep rich taste. Mix melted butter, sugars and egg yolk. After this flour and baking soda and mix until combined. Lastly stir in the chocolate chips. I used mix of dark and milk chocolate chips. You can choose either or chopped chocolate chunks also work well.
Now comes the debatable part, should you chill the dough in freezer or not ? Well i find it better to chill it. Chilling it as little as 20 minutes is also enough. In summers you may want to chill for upto an hour as dough becomes sticky in hot weather.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out cookies on a tray. Bake until outer corners are done. When you take them out of oven the centers continue to cook.
