alton brown's cookies
The Chewy
Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown
Yield: 2 1/2 dozen cookies
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Hardware:
Ice cream scooper (#20 disher, to be exact)
Parchment paper
Baking sheets
Mixer
Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together
the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
Pour the melted butter in the mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar.
Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons
milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the
flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Chill the dough, then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per
sheet. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown, checking the cookies after 5
minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool completely and store in
an airtight container.
