Wanna use this opportunity to shill an awesome cookie recipe by Adam Regusea.
Recipe :
Ingredients
- 113g (1 stick) butter
- 200g sugar (1 cup granulated or brown, but I prefer 1 2/3 cups powdered sugar)
- 5-10g (1-2 teaspoons) molasses (optional, replicates the taste of brown sugar)
- 1 egg
- 10g (1 teaspoon of ~~Morton~~ whatever brand you want kosher) salt (use 2/3rds of that if your butter is salted)
- 4-8g (1-2 teaspoons) vanilla extract
- 3g (1/2 teaspoon) baking soda
- 230g (about 1.5 cups) bread flour (1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour is OK instead)
- 100g chocolate chips or other mix-ins
Instructions
- Get the oven (convection if possible) heating to 375ºF/190ºC
- Melt the butter
- Mix in the sugar (and optional molasses) until smooth
- Mix in the egg until very smooth
- Mix in the salt (FYI, some people might not like their cookies as salty as I do), vanilla, baking soda, flour and chips
The dough should be a little sticky — you can chill it for a few minutes to make it easier to shape.
-
Divide the dough into six 115g portions and roll each into something like a golf ball.
-
Space them evenly on a baking sheet — no parchment paper or grease necessary (but you can use parchment paper if wanted).
-
Flatten each ball into something like a hockey puck and tidy up the circular shape.
-
Turn the oven off and turn the broiler/grill on maximum.
-
Give it a minute or two to heat up, then put in the cookies near the top.
-
Let the broiler brown the tops of the cookies until golden — this should only take a minute, so don't walk away or they'll burn.
-
If you're doing multiple pans of cookies, brown them each one at a time.
-
Turn the broiler off and the oven back on to 375ºF/190ºC.
-
Give the broiler a couple minutes to cool down, then return the cookies to the oven.
-
Bake until they spread and look done to you — mine take about eight minutes as this stage, but they'll take longer if you don't have a convection fan.
For perfect “chewy” texture, take them out when they just look a hair under-baked.
Let the cookies cool and solidify before scraping them off the baking sheet.
