hey there it's Bettie from BakerBettie.com with another video for our holiday
cookie series today I'm sharing with you my ultimate chocolate chip cookies the
holidays are the perfect time to make these cookies because they are not your
average chocolate chip cookies these are over-the-top special chocolate chip
cookies and they do take a bit of time to make but they are so worth it now as
always the full printable recipe is linked down in the description box to
start we are going to brown the butter and you do need to do this at least
several hours before baking the cookies because it does need to cool down before
we make the dough so you're going to put nine tablespoons or 126 grams of
unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat and let that melt and then
start boiling stir this frequently until the butter turns a golden brown and
smells really nutty then pour this into a bowl and set aside until cool and
solid once your butter has solidified put it in a large mixing bowl with 3/4
of a cup or 150 grams of dark brown sugar and cream it together
on medium high speed until light and fluffy about three to four minutes next
add one large egg and one and a half teaspoons of pure vanilla extract and
mix that in until incorporated okay next up is a 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt 1/2
teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and just go ahead and
mix those in now for this recipe we are going to use two different kinds of
flour 1 cup or 120 grams of all-purpose flour and 1 cup or 120 grams of oat
flour oat flour is going to give our cookies a lot of chew and a bit of
texture it also adds some additional nutty flavor you can easily make your
own nut flour at home by putting the oats in a food processor and pulsing it
until you get a coarse flour consistency once
flowers are mixed in it's going to be a pretty thick dough now we're going to
add in the good stuff one cup or 140 grams of good quality chocolate chips
and 3/4 of a cup or 70 grams of chopped pecans that have been toasted the pecans
are optional but I highly recommend them now for the chocolate I really love the
Ghirardelli 60% bittersweet chocolate chips they stay really melty in your
cookies instead of staying hard like some chocolate chips do but I also
really like guitard brand chocolate chips or you could chop up a nice
chocolate bar but if you're going to make these cookies definitely splurge
for some good quality chocolate it really makes them over the top
scoop large amounts of cookie dough onto parchment lined baking sheets and I will
use this large cookie scoop that's about three tablespoons in size I think large
cookies give you the perfect amount of really crispy edges and really thick and
chewy centers that contrast is just perfect and I also like to top each
cookie with a few more chocolate chips and to sprinkle with some coarse salt
before they go into the oven
bake one sheet pan at a time at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees
Celsius for eight to ten minutes pull them out of the oven when the cookies
are set on the edges and the middles look slightly under baked these cookies
are rich and decadent with nutty and caramel notes they are a bit crunchy on
the outside and soft and chewy in the middle and they're the perfect contrast
of sweet and salty these are the cookies that get requested by my family and
friends time and time again I really hope you enjoyed this recipe tutorial
