Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

chocolate chip cookie

These Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies are crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle.  Absolutely perfect!!  They even stay fresh for several days (not that they’ll last that long).  These really are excellent cookies.  Keep your dough in the fridge between batches. The warmer your dough (and butter) is, the more it will spread.

Also, make sure and fluff your flour before measuring it.  Use a spoon to add it to your measuring cup, don’t be tempted to scoop the flour.  Better yet, use a scale.  It’s one of my most valuable kitchen tools.  A cup of all-purpose flour weighs 4 1/4 ounces or 120 grams.  You will be using 3 cups which is 12 3/4 ounces or 360 grams.

I'm hoping this site will really help them.   If you think so too, please take a minute and send them a link.

Do NOT scoop your flour (this will lead to a dense, tough cookie). Instead, before measuring, you need to aerate your flour. As it sits in the container it gets compacted. Use a fork to aerate your flour (fluff it up) then spoon it into a measuring cup. Finally, level off the cup with the back of a butter knife. I f you have scooped properly, a cup of flour should weigh 4.5 ounces or 120 grams.
