Key Ingredients for Success
The secret to truly amazing cookies lies in the quality of your ingredients. Here's what you'll need:
- Unsalted Butter: Use good quality, unsalted butter for the best flavor and control over the sweetness.
- Brown Sugar & Granulated Sugar: The combination of brown and granulated sugar creates the perfect balance of moisture and sweetness.
- Large Eggs: Room temperature eggs will help create a smoother, more evenly mixed batter.
- Vanilla Extract: A high-quality vanilla extract will elevate the overall flavor profile.
- All-Purpose Flour: Use good quality flour for the best texture.
- Baking Soda & Salt: These are essential for the perfect rise and balance of flavors.
- Chocolate Chips: Use your favorite type of chocolate chips – semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or even dark chocolate!
Azie Kitchen's Famous Amos Cookie Recipe
This recipe yields approximately 24 cookies.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop & Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Cookie Perfection
- Chill the Dough: For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Don't Overbake: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Start checking for doneness at the 9-minute mark.
- Experiment with Mix-ins: Feel free to add other mix-ins to your cookies, such as nuts, dried fruit, or sprinkles.
