I need a really good recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Can someone help me?

Question

I need a good recipe that will taste rich, chocalatey and gooey, but not doughy.

Answer 1

Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder
1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream the butter with the sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy (approximately 30 seconds)

2. Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.

3. In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and beat into the butter mixture at low speed for about 15 seconds. Stir in the espresso coffee powder and chocolate chips.

4. Using a 1 ounce scoop or a 2 tablespoon measure, drop cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon to spread out into a 2 inch circle. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned around the edges. Bake a little longer for a crispier cookie.

Yield: 2 dozen cookies

Answer 2

I really like the recipe for the Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies someone else supplied because the coffee flavor really accents the chocolate chips. However, I like the cookie from this recipe even more, so I just add instant coffee to this recipe as well. Sometimes when I'm feeling creative I use chocolate chunks (as opposed to the chips), white chocolate chips, and walnuts instead of the chocolate chips (yes, all three, and I suppose it measures more than 2 cups all together).
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
