Should you love a chocolate chip cookie with crisp, buttery edges, a gentle and chewy middle, and people attractive bakery-style crinkles, these Large Crinkled Chocolate Chip Cookies are only for you.
This recipe makes use of the pan-banging technique to create dramatic ripples and texture whereas protecting the facilities completely tender. The cookies are massive (we’re speaking bakery-big), loaded with chopped semi-sweet chocolate, and completed with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for that sweet-salty magic. They’re spectacular, a bit of dramatic (in the easiest way), and surprisingly easy to make.
Why the Pan-Banging Technique Works
Should you’ve by no means tried pan-banging earlier than, you’re in for a deal with. However should you’ve been round for a bit you’ll keep in mind I used this system once I made my tremendous delish Chewy Walnut Cookies!
Partway by way of baking, you actually raise the baking sheet just a few inches and firmly drop it onto the oven rack. This deflates the cookies simply sufficient to create these stunning crinkled edges and ripples. Repeating this just a few occasions provides you:
- Crispy, caramelized edges
- A skinny, crackly outer layer
- Thick, gentle, gooey facilities
- That signature bakery-style look
Elements
- Salted butter at room temperature. I favor utilizing salted butter right here as a result of the objective is a wonderfully buttery candy/salty cookie!
- Sugars: Granulated sugar and light-weight brown sugar
- Giant eggs. You’ll use 2.
- Vanilla Extract in fact!
- Baking soda
- Kosher salt
- All-purpose flour
- Chopped semi-sweet chocolate. You would additionally use bittersweet should you favor a barely much less candy cookie.
- Flaked sea salt for sprinkling
- Place 4 cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving loads of room, these unfold rather a lot.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then take away the pan from the oven and firmly bang it on the oven rack just a few occasions to deflate the cookies. Return the pan to the oven for 3 minutes. Take away and bang once more.
- Repeat this course of two extra occasions (bake 3 minutes, bang, repeat) till the sides are golden brown and the facilities are principally set however nonetheless barely gentle. This step creates the signature crinkled edges and rippled texture.
- Chilling issues. The quarter-hour helps management spreading. However don’t really feel tempted to relax them longer than quarter-hour. An excessive amount of chill time will stop the even baking and spreadability of the cookie which is integral for the crinkled (banged) edges.
- Use chopped chocolate as a substitute of chips. It melts into swimming pools all through the cookie and works finest with the thinner texture of the cookie.
- Don’t over-bake. The facilities ought to look of so very barely underdone while you pull them out. They’ll end setting as they cool.
- Give them house. 4 per baking sheet is good for correct spreading. Should you crowd the pan they may most positively bake collectively, which isn’t the worst factor, however that’s not the objective right here.
