Important detail: You’re only supposed to brown 10 TBS of butter. Afterwards you mix in the remaining 4 TBS. This is to add moisture to the cookie. It’s been a minimum since I’ve made these and as soon as I saw all 14 TBS melted, I realized my mistake. Heads up!

If you're in a hurry or want to refresh your memory: 2:29 Brown the butter 3:36 Use a 2:1 ratio of brown to white sugar 4:15 Use one egg and one yolk instead of two whole eggs 4:41 Whisk the wet ingredients 30 sec, wait 3 min, repeat 2 more times 5:45 Use 3 Tablespoons of dough for each cookie 5:52 Remove the cookies from the oven when they are slightly underdone

The last part as many will question, is to account for leftover heat in food. Your stuff can keep cooking up to 10 minutes while plated depending and what you're even having. So the carryover heat from the cookies and the sheet pan will cook them to perfection and safety once you pull them out.

ABOUT.

Dan is so easy to listen to, and so knowledgeable. I watch all these!

I don't know why, but I love watching Dan eat. There's just something so calming and satisfying about it. That said, I'm definitely making these cookies..... one day!

The ideal chocolate chip cookie, from bottom to top: crispy, cake-y, gooey, flake-y. The one essential step that was missed, here: chill the dough SOLID! You need a little of it to melt, first, while the remainder stays frozen, to guarantee that transition from cake-y to gooey between the layers - when you have a well-developed transition between extremes, they merge in your mouth into a caramel-like glob of melty, instead of being entirely-gooey or entirely-cake-y. Years of practice! :)

This is my fav YT series. I love learning the reasons behind cooking methods. Thanks Dan.

Dan's content couldn't get any better, so informative and inspiring!

I’ve been making this recipe about 10 years. I swear by it and so do the people with whom I share the cookies. 100% of the time they say it’s the best choc chip cookie they’ve ever had! I add toasted walnuts or pecans.

Oh my goodness, I learned so much from this short video. Thanks, Dan! This human (Dan Souza) gives a lightheartedness to the world that is so desperately needed.

Made these this morning. Best chocolate chip cookie recipe. Amazing taste and texture. Thanks for posting.

I made this recipe during my Christmas vacation, and, Dude. My wife wasn't mad at me once for as long as the batch lasted, which was about 36 hours. Relationship game changer! And they pair nicely with a Speyside single malt Scotch, which I enjoyed after she and my daughter were tucked in at night.

My mom raises us on chocolate chip cookies with half whole-wheat flour and a tablespoon of wheat germ added to the recipe. I think it makes for a nuttier-tasting cookie. I also add a pinch of cinnamon to the cookie dough, not to make it taste like cinnamon but to boost up the flavor of the cookie itself so that it can match the chocolate chips in flavor.

Simply the best cooking show out there. Thanks for another excellent video.

"Something I find frankly more beautiful" *tears in my eyes* TALK THAT SHIT BRO

I made these today, and they're so good! Followed the recipe exactly. I didn't have a #24 cookie scoop so I measured 2 oz portions and cooked them for 10:30 minutes. I got 16 cookies with a tiny bit left over. (I tried different sizes and times, but the 2 oz for 10:30 minutes was the sweet spot for my oven.)

I love this series. So well explained.

I love this series!

I love this video ❤️!!! Always enjoy watching Dan. So informative. Great entertaining video too.

Love this recipe just for the dough - thank you Dan. Very informative and entertaining. Made three double batches today!

Great video Dan! Love 💕 it! Thank you.

Made these cookies twice. So good! I sprinkled salt flakes right for the sweet salty contrast and the result was outstanding

I’m so glad we have you, Dan The Food Nerd. Time to go brown some butter!

I made these cookies and oh man. That browning butter nuttiness is incredible! Highly recommend making them!

I love this cooking show so much.

Dan is the man! Love this series!

I love this channel!!! It all seems so good. Im gonna try this. AND the cauliflower soup. Oh gosh, the yumminess!

Would love to see an episode on SCONES!!

Now that's SCIENCE !!! Best explanation ever of what each ingredient does

Great video! I love the scientific approach in comparing exactly the same cooking for different cases (sugars, size of cookie).. something home cooks might not want to waste time doing but we all kinda wonder about!

Awesome info Dan!!!❤❤

I love these videos. My spouse loves baking so I'll have to get him to watch this one.

This is the recipe I’ve been using for years, and it really is the best.

Thank you Dan, well done

I tried your tips today but with a couple of my must haves: mini chocolate chips for better distribution of chocolate in the cookies and nuts-either pecan or walnut.

I am a Toll House cookie fanatic. I refused to believe there could be one better...well there is. This cookie recipe is absolutely delicious and is better than Toll house.

Just made these with my boyfriend and they turned out great! Browning the butter gave great flavour and was also a lot easier than trying to cream butter and sugar by hand.

Made these last night - best . cookie. ever. Thank You!

Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe. I didn't know about browning the butter until I watched this video. I will definitely try this recipe. I love Massachusetts and all the wonderful things there. Incredible people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, LOVE, Love this recipe! Browning the butter and letting the wet batter rest before incorporation is a gamer changer. These are my favorite choco chip cookies. Don't deviant from the recipe, it's perfect as-is!

I made these and they are the new family recipe! Delicious and dangerously addictive!!

I've made these for several years and they are perfect.

Dan speaks very clearly. Great voice, too. Love it!

Do one on brownies please Dan!!! We love you xx

I'm going to try this soon. I appreciate the science behind it, and will experiment a tad as well. Thanks!

Thanks Dan!

I've used this recipe for several years now and it makes the best cookie!!! Made them the other night and had one just an hour ago. So very, very good.

I take them to work and everyone is astonished how tasty they are. Toffee, chewy, chocolaty goodness. (And by the way, that cookbook is a favorite as well. The chicken noodle soup and beef chili recipe is awesome!)

Love the explanation ❤

At 4:37, Dan explains what might be the most important step in the entire recipe, and maybe how all cookies should be made when combining the sugars and wet ingredients. I never knew!

Made the cookies- all I can say is "wow" that's a good cookie.

BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE EVER!! Thank you for this recipe. Tell all your family, friends, strangers! Make it and indulge! For how well known this cookie recipe is and made all over THIS specific recipe kills it! The “extra” step to brown the butter gives such depth of flavor. It tastes like the finest of fancy cookies! Melt in your mouth, chew slowly, eyes closed type. Dan thank you very much! Now if I can only stop “testing”them! So I can have enough to give away to the family! Lol

I'm surprised you didn't talk about chocolate chips vs chopped chocolate. I love using chopped chocolate because of all the nice little shards of chocolate you get in the cookies

I love this show! Dan the man! Lol, when is season 2?

this series is unbelievably underrated imo

Great tutorial. I have been searching for the ""perfect" chocolate chip cookie for quite a while. This finally, is it! Can't wait to bake these for Christmas. Thanks for sharing! P,S, Dan, you are so cute!

“Wait impatiently for them to cool” That’s the second worst thing about chocolate chip cookies. The first one is when you realize the last one was eaten.

Alrighty then - off to try this new way of making my favorite cookies. Thanks!

These turned out amazing! Hands down, the BEST chocolate chip cookies I have ever made!

Made these 2 weeks ago and now my sister's job wants more. They tried them and they were hooked.

Had to watch this. My favorite cookie! Mmmmm 🍪

Very nice version of chocolate chip cookies. Made em, they were delicious. Didnt tell anyone what the difference was but they knew something had changed. This makes a cookie that I like, not cakey but more moist and chewey without being undercooked Has a molasses/caramel/chewy/something that's really good. I made em big too, less work and moist. And you can say you only ate 1!

Nice job, Dan.

good information first time i know it thanks

Ever since discovering this recipe I can't stop making it.

Wow this channel has blown my mind like 3 episodes

Wow, things that I never learned from anywhere else but here ❤️

For an awesome upgrade, replace some of the brown butter with bacon dripping and sprinkle some course salt on top.

Quite a few years ago I started using a combination of both the standard and mini chocolate chips in my chocolate chip cookie recipe and I prefer it now because every bite has at least a little chocolate in it!

Took a few reps to get the time right for my oven but everything else straight from the recipe. So damn good-and that's a three syllable, southern-fried damn. Love this channel. Good job, young man.

Hell yeah that’s how you eat a chocolate chip cookie…!!!…love that crispy on the edge soft in the middle texture!! So gonna try this…

These are so good the brown butter is a game changer.

Used some of these tips to modify ATK Kid’s “Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie” recipe. Browned the butter, modified the ratio of dark brown to granulated sugar, and replaced the egg with two egg yolks. Superb!

yummy!🍪

Very enlightening! For a little extra treat, skip the milk dunk and instead dip in whipped cream. Yum!

I like dark cookies. Bake them at 425 deg F. The butter will melt and expand out along the edges making a nice thin crispy border.

I live 7 minutes from where the Toll House used to be. Sadly, it burned down in 1984. There's a Wendy's on that corner now, but the original sign is around the corner at the entrance to the Toll House Village condos.

298 g a-p flour 3 g baking soda 198 g unsalter butter (142 g browned, then stir in 56 g unmelted butter to help cool) 100 g table sugar 150 g dark brown sugar 6 g table salt 8 g vanilla 1 large egg (50 g with shell) 1 large egg yolk (18 g) 219 g chocolate (chips or chopped) 35 g walnuts (optional)

Browing the butter adds a ton of flavour but if you are going to melt the butter then there's no creaming of butter and sugar happening. That part of the video showing the air incorporated in butter and sugar mixture using stand mixer, cannot be achieved with melted butter. Would freezing the butter after browning help? Gotta try out next time.

Thanks for all this knowledge! I'm surprised though that different flours weren't reviewed. I like to mix bread and cake flour so I have different textures but the protein ratio in the flour remains about the same as AP flour.

A great chocolate chip cookie may just be the best food mankind has created.

Man I love this channel, the science, the tips the perfect recipe at the end.

I add the chopped nuts to the butter as it browns. Since I use pecans most of the time, it adds flavor to them as well as the cooked
