The Best Cookie Recipes on Earth. Period. - Morning Brew

This Tuesday was National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Yes, there’s a holiday for everything, but we’re particularly inclined to celebrate this one because 1) the Morning Brew mug is the ideal vessel for cookie-dipping milk and 2) we like cookies.

Because we don’t hold the answers to everything, we asked readers for their favorite cookie recipes. Two chocolate chip variations in particular were recommended 10 million times: 1) Doubletree’s not-so-secret recipe, and 2) Chris Morocco from Bon Appetit’s favorite. 

Keep reading for many more cookie recipes (not all chocolate chip). And if you make any, tag us on Twitter or Instagram. At least one batch has to make it past the dough stage, right?

Nestle’s recipe (Reddit’s favorite), but with two alterations:

1. Instead of 3/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup granulated sugar, use 1 cup of brown and 1/2 cup of granulated for a more buttery taste.
2. Instead of 1 tsp of baking soda, use 1 tsp of baking powder to make it super fluffy.

Chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 stick unsalted butter, room temp (salted’s fine too, just use less salt later)
• 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg, room temp
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups BREAD flour (this is the secret weapon to this recipe)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

• Cream together the butter and the sugars.You can use your hands or an electric/hand mixer.
• Add the egg and vanilla, but only mix until just incorporated 
• In a separate bowl mix together the bread flour, baking soda, and salt
• Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture in parts, mixing until it's all in there. It will seem too dry, but it's not.
• Add the chips
• This part is almost as important as using bread flour: Roll the cookies into balls, put them in a bowl, and refrigerate for 2-6 hours. 
• Preheat your oven to 350, bake for 9 minutes, and you're done!

Soft-baked white chocolate cranberry cookies

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks or 170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 3/4 cup (150g) packed dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 2 tsps pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 2 tsps cornstarch (cornflour)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup (135g) white chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup (105g) dried cranberries

Instructions

• In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix on medium high speed until fluffy and light in color. Beat in egg and vanilla on high speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until combined. On low speed, slowly mix into the wet ingredients until combined. The dough will be quite thick. Add the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries, and mix on low for about 5-10 seconds until evenly distributed. Cover dough tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours to 2 days.
• Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. If the cookie dough chilled longer than 2 hours, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This makes the cookie dough easier to scoop and roll.
• Preheat the oven to 350. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
• Once chilled, the dough will be slightly crumbly, but will come together if you work the dough with your hands as you roll into individual balls. Scoop and roll balls of dough, about 1 tablespoon of dough each, into balls. Place 10-12 on each baking sheet. Bake in batches for 8-10 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges. They will look extremely soft when you remove them from the oven. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet. If the cookies are too puffy, try gently pressing down on them with the back of a spoon. They will slightly deflate as you let them cool. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
