Tips for Making Million Dollar Chocolate Chip Cookies
Keep these tips in mind when making our million dollar chocolate chip cookies.
- One secret to this better-than-ever cookie? Using nutty brown butter rather than just softened butter.
- When testing this chocolate chip cookie recipe, we used a 3 Tbsp. scoop. This helps ensure the cookies are consistent in size and bake evenly.
- If baking the entire recipe, you’ll want to bake these in 2 batches. That’s six cookies per baking sheet, so the cookies are not crowded.
- When it comes to cookie texture, chill time plays a big part. These cookies can be chilled for up to 2 days and then baked. The longer the chill time, the longer the bake time. If you chill the cookies longer, they will be thicker with less spread.
- More salt is a good thing in this chocolate chip cookie recipe. It balances the sweetness and bittersweet chocolate flavor.
