The Ingredients You Need
 Chocolate chip cookie ingredients via The dessert Spot | |
|---|---|
Butter | The butter gives your cookies a buttery flavor while moistening your dough. Beating the butter with shortening will give the dough a good rise when they bake. Unsalted or salted? You should use unsalted butter, because it gives you the full control of the overall flavor of your recipe, and it gives out the natural flavor of foods. You would need to add a pinch of salt in the dough anyway. |
Sugar | Sugars make your cookie recipe even softer and richer. Together with the butter and vanilla, it also gives moisture to your dough, and moisture would result in a chewy cookie. White or brown? It is all up to you. Brown sugar has more moisture than white sugar, and healthier too! More of white sugar would make your cookies sandier in texture and crisper as well. |
Flour | Flour is one of the main ingredients of your dough, which makes it have a texture in the first place. Too much flour will make your cookie to spread too much and lose structure. Always scale your flour and do not scoop directly from the bag as it compacts the flour. |
Salt | Salt – the salt calms the fermentation activity, makes the dough a little stronger, and affects the baked goods’ shelf life. It also adds and enhances flavor in your cookies. So do not miss putting some pinches of salt in your dough. |
Chocolate | Chocolate – without chocolate chips, your chocolate chip cookies won’t be complete. It gives your cookies that beautiful texture and appearance and a chocolaty flavor that complements with the buttery dough. Most bakers would prefer semi-sweet chocolate as it is efficient in holding its shape whenever it is mixed in the dough. The right amount? It all depends on whether you want very chocolaty cookies or not. |
Egg | Egg whites give moisture and protein in your dough. These proteins trap and retain bubbles of air in the mixture. It makes your dough rise in the oven. Egg yolks also provide the same moisture and protein. Aside from this, it also gives a well-emulsified source of fat. A higher amount of egg yolks makes your cookie super tender and gives a brownie-like texture. |
Baking Powder | It acts as a chemical leavening in your dough. When moistened with your butter and egg, this will make your dough bloom and rise. What brand should you use? All. Good baking soda is not hard to find, so it does not matter what brand you choose. |
How to Mix Ingredients

You need to have two bowls for flour and butter mixture. When beating, you can also use an electric mixer. The secret to perfect dough is to not mix the ingredients all at once. Follow the steps below:
- Step 1: In a bowl, put the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix it and whisk.
- Step 2: In another bowl, mix the butter and the brown and white sugar.
- Step 3: In an electric mixer (optional), beat the butter together with brown and white sugar on medium-high speed for up to four minutes. Beat it until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Step 4: Crack and add the two large eggs to the butter mixture. Mix.
- Step 5: Pour the pure vanilla extract into the butter mixture. Beat again.

Favorite Cookie Tools
Aside from the common tools you need when cooking, the following are the primary needed materials for baking cookies:
Baking tins | you should use heavy-duty silver coloured tins as dark silicone bake ware can make the sides of your cookies dark. |
Cooling Rack | After baking, your cookies need to sit for a couple of minute before consuming. Cooling rack helps air to circulate around your cookies to avoid sogginess. |
Spatulas | you can avoid some melted chocolate or dough mixture in your bowl by skimming around the sides through this equipment. When you do not have this, a spoon will do. |
Measuring jug | used for measuring liquid ingredients like oil, water, milk, etc. |
Measuring spoons | (teaspoon and tablespoon) used for measuring small quantity of ingredients like oil, vanilla, salt, etc. |
Mixing bowls | it is better to have more than one bowl as baking cookies require many bowls which where you can mix your ingredients to make a dough. |
Palette knife | can be used for slicing or cutting butter, etc. |
Pastry brush | When you grease your pans with oil, as well as grease your dough with egg wash or milk, or brush your baked goods with melted butter, this can be an excellent tool. |
Food Mixture | It mixes and beats any ingredients you put. This saves time and minimize effort. However, when you don’t have this, you can use whisk or spoons instead. |
Whisk | This is necessary for beating your butter, egg, and sugar. It is designed to provide volume and aerate foods. This can be used when you don’t have any electric food mixer. |
Baking parchment/liners | It is a non-stick paper (greaseproof and moisture-proof) that is good for lining cookies. When you don’t have this, you can brush a small amount of oil, or spread a small amount of flour. |
How To Shape Chocolate Chip Cookies
Shaping your cookies can be easy when you have some molds. However, when you only have your hands and some tools and want just the perfect and traditional ball-shaped cookies, here is what you need to do:

Experts’ Advices
When you are baking a chocolate chip cookie waffle, instead of using skewers like I usually do to lift out waffles, you will want to use a fork and lift it from the underside of the waffle, being careful to support it and not tear it.
When you are measuring the flour, spoon it with a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. Scooping directly from the bag makes the flour compact, that results to dry baked good.
To make sure you do not over bake your cookies, try cooking few cookies so you can determine the right baking time for your oven. (Michelle Palin).
Cold butter is going to give you a little bit different texture, and it is going to keep the temperature nice and even. This will make your cookies perfect round shape.
