Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays: A Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

What's up guys, welcome back! Merry Christmas and happy holidays today I'll be showing you my wife's super delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe, or as we like to call them in our household "crack cookies" because you can't stop eating them. They're super addictive, can't wait to show you but before we do that please take a quick second to subscribe to the channel. Make sure to hit that bell enable notifications as well.

Alright let's make it happen, we're going to start by spooning in some all-purpose flour into our cup measurer. We're going to use exactly two and three-fourths cup of all-purpose flour this technique is critical because as you guys know baking is definitely a science so you want to be as accurate as possible in your measurements and spooning the flour into the measuring cup here and then knocking off the excess with the back end of a butter knife is about as accurate as it gets. We're going to repeat that process for exactly two and three-fourths cup of flour as always guys, specific measurements and ingredients provided for you in the description box below make sure to check that out.

Next we're going into our next mixing bowl with one cup of melted butter followed by one and a half cups of brown sugar and a half cup of white sugar. We're using a higher brown sugar ratio for this recipe because brown sugar is made from molasses which is a bit higher in moisture and just gives cookies a nice soft and chewy texture and everybody likes soft and chewy cookies so that's why we're going with that. Break out your whisk and mix everything to combine, going in with one egg and one egg yolk you want to whisk that in as well you want your eggs to be room temperature also next we're going in with one and a half teaspoons of vanilla extract.

And then we're going to add two teaspoons of corn starch and one teaspoon of baking powder to our flour mixture along with a pinch of salt and whisk those ingredients together as you can see we have our dry ingredients and our wet ingredients separated. Next we're going to add those together to make our cookie dough, looking good so right here guys you want to go ahead and begin folding in your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients, add a little bit at a time break out that rubber spatula and just fold all those ingredients together. Looking good, this recipe is so good guys, I can't wait for you guys to try it. Make sure you leave me a comment let me know if you plan on making this for Christmas or you know for new year something like that, hell I'd make this any day of the week but be careful because like I said they are super addictive.

So here we are just continuing to mix in our dry and wet ingredients, you want to keep doing this until it resembles cookie dough and all the flour is absorbed or until you get carpal tunnel whichever comes first. Just a reminder guys, all the specific measurements and ingredients can be found in the description box below, keep in mind that baking is definitely a science and you want to make sure you follow the recipe as closely as you possibly can.

Now we look like we have some cookie dough developing just in time for us to add one half cup of chocolate chips, one half cup of white chocolate chips and three-quarters cup of toffee chips. The toffee is totally optional if you're not a fan of white chocolate you don't have to add that either really at this point you have your cookie dough base, you can add whatever kind of chips you want. This is just the recipe that my wife uses and it is phenomenal guys so I can wait to share it with you let me know in the comments what your favorite cookie is though I'm super interested in hearing that.

Alright so just fold those chips in and we're going to pop that in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dough to firm up, making them easier to work with when it's time to bake.

The final step is baking the cookies, this can be done using a variety of methods including baking in a conventional oven or using a convection oven. For this recipe I'll be using my trusty old convection oven because it allows for even cooking and browning, which is perfect for these types of cookies.

Once the cookies have been baked to perfection they'll come out looking golden brown and smelling amazing. Now brace yourself for the money shot, man those look good little blue bell vanilla ice cream and a mint garnish and you know I've got to try this, we gotta pour in a little milk oh man these are dangerous man, I'm telling you. Looking good I got to dip mine a little milk just for the taste test moment of truth, those should be illegal let me know what you think in the comments make sure to give me a thumbs up please.

you let me know in the comments what your favorite cookie is though i'm i'm super interested in hearing that all right so just fold those chips in and we're going to pop that in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes you do want your cookie dough to be chilled because it does prevent spreading so if you don't uh chill your cookie dough first before you pop it in the oven uh you'll get those super flat uh you know really flat wide cookies and you know it's just not as appealing to the eye still will taste good but we're looking for presentation as well so now we want to line a baking sheet with some parchment paper preheat your oven to 350 degrees and you want to roll out your cookie dough into equal size balls like so and just repeat that process until you've used all of your cookie dough or until you filled your baking sheet and if you're like me and you have some leftover cookie dough then grab one of these mini skillets and just press the cookie dough into it to kind of you know fill it don't overfill it because it will rise a little bit in the oven looking good giving you guys both versions you got the you know the chocolate chip cookies coming out of the oven and then the mini skillets like they serve at the restaurants you will definitely impress your house guests you can get these mini cast iron skillets on amazon relatively cheap this is how we're looking when they come out of the oven brace yourself for a trademark money shot man those look good little blue bell vanilla ice cream and a mint garnish and you know i've got to try this we gotta pour in a little
