Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

OOEY, GOOEY, CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter and both sugars. (I like to cream them really well so I leave the mixer on while I do the next step.).
• Mix all dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking soda and salt) in a separate small bowl.
• Add 2 eggs, one at a time, to creamed ingredients.
• Add vanilla. Mix well.
• Add dry ingredients a little at a time until it's all well incorprated. (Mixture should be really thick and not real sticky. If too sticky, add extra flour 1 T. at a time until dry enough that you can pick up the dough and roll it without it sticking to your hands.).
• Mix in chocolate chips.
• I roll these into about golf ball sized balls and bake at 350 for 12-13 minutes. Take them out just as they are barely beginning to brown. The key is to not overbake these! Let them cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet and then transfer to wire rack.
• Hint: If your cookies spread too much while baking, try putting the dough in the fridge for a while before baking up the next batch. If that doesn't work, add a bit more flour to it.

GOOEY MARSHMALLOW-FILLED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Position the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment. (If you only have one baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.)
• Place the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively melt in a small saucepan.) Cool slightly.
• Whisk the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon, taking care not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Use an ice cream scoop or measuring spoon to scoop out portions of dough (each about 3 tablespoons or 2.2 ounces). Flatten each portion in the palm of your hand until it's about 1/4-inch thick. Place 1 marshmallow in the center of the flattened dough and form the dough around the marshmallow until it is completely covered. Roll into a uniform ball and place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the edges and top are just turning golden, but the center is still soft, 17 to 18 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Line 3 baking sheets with parchment.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat on medium speed until just combined. Add the flour, baking soda and kosher salt and mix on low speed until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the chocolate chunks using a wooden spoon or spatula.
• Use a 1/4-cup scoop to scoop the cookies, making sure to scrape the scoop against the side of the bowl to flatten off the top. Scoop onto the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart to give them space to spread while baking. Sprinkle a pinch or two of sea salt on top of each cookie dough mound. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until golden brown, 17 to 18 minutes. Let the cookies cool and crisp up on the baking sheets.
