CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE?

I am aiming for that kind of texture (like chip ahoy's soft and chwy cookies) in the chocolate chip cookie that i am making. But I want it to be firm enough, not like a raw cookie dough.





So i am planning to add around 1-2 tablespoon of light corn syrup in my chocolate chip cookie recipe that am using. Will the cookie be more chewy?? I heard that a little corn syrup, especially in brownies, makes them extra extra chewy. Please verify. thanks :DCHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE?
Yes light corn syrup adds chewiness to cookies.





I am lucky in that my company has a fantastic cafeteria but I don't care for their chocolate chip cookies. They are always too crisp, too sweet, or unbalanced in their ratio of dough to chips. This recipe, which I actually tried for the first time this week, is more up my alley. I was drawn to the recipe from King Arthur Flour because it contained two ingredients I'd never used before when making chocolate chip cookies: corn syrup and vinegar. I will admit the corn syrup gave me pause because when I bought it at the grocery store I noticed it contained high fructose corn syrup. Eww. I normally avoid HFCS and partially hydrogenated oils like the plague. However, everything I have ever made from a KAF recipe has turned out amazing, so I had a lot of faith that if KAF called for corn syrup that it must be there for a purpose. It does do a pretty good job I will say of adding a wonderful chewy mouth feel. The vinegar reacts with the baking soda to yield an especially light cookie. I'm glad I had faith in KAF because these were by far the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever made. I brought them to work to share during a brainstorm with our interns and was told multiple times how amazing they were. One of the interns even took a few back to his mentor and when she found out that I made them she e-mailed me to tell me how good they are. The truth is it's all in the genius of KAF. If you like a chewy cookie these are definitely worth it.





The Essential Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie


3/4 cup softened unsalted butter


2/3 cup dark brown sugar


2/3 cup granulated sugar


2 tbsp light corn syrup


1 tbsp cider vinegar or white vinegar


2 large eggs


1 tbsp vanilla extract


1/2 tsp salt


1/2 tsp baking powder


1/4 tsp baking soda


2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour


3 cups semisweet chocolate chips


Preheat the oven to 375藲F. Lightly grease cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.


In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugars, corn syrup, and vinegar, then beat in the eggs. Beat in the vanilla, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir in the flour and chocolate chips, taking care not to over mix. Drop by the tablespoonful onto the baking sheet. Bake the cookies or 10 minutes, until they're just set; the centers may still look underdone. Remove from cookie sheet and cool on a baking rack.
