Homemade Chips Ahoy! Cookies Recipe (How to Make Chips Ahoy! Cookies)
Description
The cookie dough is prepared by creaming softened butter with a mixture of dark brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda are then incorporated, followed by water, vanilla extract, and semi-sweet chocolate chips folded in gently. The dough consistency should be firm enough to shape and roll out.
Dough portions are rolled into tablespoon-sized balls, flattened to about a quarter-inch thickness, and spaced appropriately on parchment-lined baking sheets. Baking in a convection oven at 325°F for 10-12 minutes produces cookies with golden edges and a characteristic crinkle created by a pan tap immediately after baking. Cooling onsite helps the cookies set with an ideal balance of chew and crispness.
The recipe notes that baking times may vary if a conventional oven is used, recommending starting to check for doneness after about 15 minutes. These cookies store well and can be enjoyed over multiple days stored properly.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups butter softened
- 1 ⅓ cups dark brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup water
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Notes
- Convection ovens with fan assist bake these cookies faster; if using a conventional oven, start checking after 15 minutes as baking time will be longer.
- Immediately after baking, gently banging the cookie pan on the counter creates the classic crinkled cookie tops.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before moving to maintain shape and texture.
