Chocolate chip cookies are the most basic and common cookies that you can find at any bakery shops yet only several of them really stand out. Mine did, so here I am to help you bring out the real 'thing' in your own chocolate chip cookie recipe.
1) Not all butter is the same. The best kind of butter that you want to use for your recipe would be the unsalted butter. In my case, I use the ones from Anchor, the brand of the butter.
2) Don't take too much time mixing the wet ingredients. The key to this is to first blend in the butter evenly, then mix the other ingredients with high speed.The faster, the better. This is to prevent any air that would enter the mix.
3) Remember to always preheat the oven first, about 20 minutes.
4) The temperature for any recipe can always be manipulated. Preferably, use mid-low temperature, for the dough to be cooked evenly.
5) Don't depend on the recipe itself on how long you should bake for a batch. You should determine this yourself by checking the cookies' colour. Up till now, I still don't know how long would it take to bake a batch of cookies using my secret recipe.
6) Always let the cookies cool. Can't stress this enough.
7) I presume all of you know that the darker the colour of the vanilla extract, the better, right?
8) Always sift the flour, you might not want those small unknown particles in your cookies and serve them to your guests/customers.
9) Let the dough aside for awhile after mixing everything altogether including the chocolate chip cookies. The result of this if the dough will turn firm and it will be much easier for you to arrange the balls of dough on the tray. Plus, it wouldn't turn out as much flat.
10) Remember to always mix the dry ingredients evenly, with your bare hands. Yes, you got that right.
11) How about salt? Never follow the recipe directly. Salt is not needed as much as baking cakes. A pinch will do the work, just to balance out the taste evenly.
