Alton Brown's The Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Report
Alton Brown's chewy chocolate chip cookies blend bread flour, which adds structure, with melted butter, creating a rich and tender cookie with a slightly crisp edge. The dough is chilled for better texture, and semisweet chocolate chips provide pockets of melty sweetness throughout. These cookies bake to a golden brown and hold their shape well, offering a classic balance of sweet and buttery flavors.
Description
Alton Brown's The Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies begin with melting butter to infuse a rich flavor and smooth texture. Bread flour is used to give the cookies a bit more chewiness. The dough combines granulated and brown sugars, eggs, and vanilla for moisture and depth. Chilling the dough before baking helps control spread and enhances texture. The semisweet chocolate chips stir in last, providing melty spots in every bite. Baking at 375 degrees allows the cookies to brown evenly with a crisp exterior and a soft, chewy center. Cooling completely ensures they set properly before storing in an airtight container.

Ingredients
- 2 unsalted butter sticks (units not specified
- 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
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- 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.

Notes
- Chill the dough before baking to improve texture and reduce spreading.
- Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cookie color.
- Store cookies in an airtight container once cooled to maintain freshness.
