regarding chocolate chip cookies [duplicate]

I use the chocolate chip recipe on the bag but double the vanilla and add more chips than called for. I also add a bit more flour. What I want to achieve is that old time chocolate chip cookie that is chewy flat and wide. Can you offer a suggestion. I still would use more chips and vanilla unless that might cause a problem. I am so glad I came apon your sight.

Best Answer

I usually stick with the venerable Alton Brown's 'The Chewy' recipe:

I often add a few extra tablespoons of wheat-gluten to make them even chewier.

You could reduce the amount of leavening (i.e. the baking soda (or any baking powder)) if you want a flatter cookie, but my results with the above recipe end-up pretty flat. Adding more vanilla and chips shouldn't make any difference in the end-product's texture, but I'd stick to the formula on flour for your first try.

Use ice cream or cookie scoops Fill the scoop with dough, scrape the excess off by using the edge of the bowl, and just press and release onto the baking sheet. Each cookie will be exactly the same size and round!

Can you double bake cookies?

I am going out on a limb against popular opinions by saying, YES, it's okay to place your under baked or underdone cookies back into the oven for a second bake.
