Dark Chocolate Chip Chewy Cookies

May 27, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 9 Comments

Hi Everyone,

One thing I love is a good chocolate chip cookie.  It is my all time favorite cookie and always brings back childhood memories of my Mom making them.  One thing about chocolate chip cookies is that all the recipes are pretty much the same with a few tiny modifications that can really change-up a cookie.  I took my basic, most requested chocolate chip cookie recipe and made some changes and now I have a new chocolate chip cookie recipe.  Let me introduce to you the newest cookie member to my collections; The Dark Chocolate Chip Chewy Cookies.

Dark Chocolate Chip Chewy Cookies

These cookies have crispy edges, and rich gooey centers.   Nothing beats a cookie when the chocolate sticks to your fingers.  Yeah baby, that is what I am talking about. So if you love a soft, gooey cookie, these are the cookies for you.

Dark Chocolate Chip Chewy Cookies


The changes that I made are pretty minor. The one thing I did which I normally never do, is sift my flour. I’m kind of lazy when it comes to it, but I did it to try it out, and what a nice change it made. It made the cookie come out nice and light. I also added a little more vanilla extract, because I am a vanilla freak. Actually I used vanilla bean paste that I picked up in Berkeley, but vanilla extract will give you the same results. One thing I did to save on calories is that I only used  1 1/2 sticks of butter instead of 2 and I also used 1 cup of sugar total. Most cookie recipes use up to 2 cups. That’s way to much. For the chocolate chips, I used Guittard Extra Dark Chocolate Chips because I am a dark chocolate freak. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips too. Both would be great in this recipe.

I’m kind of sad… I wish I made a double batch of cookies. Sigh… I already gave some to my Husband and to my co-workers. Now I have none for me. By the way this cookie recipe makes about 52 cookies. I ate some of the cookie batter, so I am sure I would have gotten more cookies. What is nice about these cookies is that they are only 83 calories each and they are so rich, you only need a couple. Not bad for a yummy chocolate chip cookie.

Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Cookies
Cuisine: American
Serves: 52 cookies
Ingredients
  • 12 tbsp. (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup firmly-packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1½ tsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 cups extra dark chocolate chips (I used Guittard Brand)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt; set a side.
  4. In a large bowl, add butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and beat until creamy. Beat in one egg until combined. Beat in vanilla until combined. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  5. Take about heaping teaspoon size of dough and place 2" apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake in oven for 8 - 10 minutes, just until lightly browned around the edges. Let cool on baking pan for 2 minutes and place on a rack to cool completely.
  6. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
I like to under bake my cookies to give it a gooey center. Just cook until lightly browned around the edges. I found 8 minutes was perfect amount of time.

Dark Chocolate Chip Chewy Cookies

I have to admit I have really fell in love with baking this past year.  It’s my favorite thing to do in the morning.  It’s so much fun and even though I sometimes change-up a traditional recipe, it’s always fun to go a little crazy and try something new.

What are your favorite things to bake?

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    How delicious, Jennifer! I love that you used vanilla paste. Isn’t it amazing how a couple little changes like that, or sifting your flour, make such a big difference? I’m always shocked too as I can get lazy and not sift either :p Also, I love that you used dark chocolate chips. If you’re ever interested in another fun twist, I followed Deb from Smitten Kitchen’s lead and tried incorporating chopped up dark chocolate (like Trader Joe’s dark choc bar) into the cookie dough instead of using chips, and they just melted and became gooey in a way chips never do! It’s so yummy and I think is healthy like the dark chocolate chips are. Great post and beautiful cookies!!

      You know what I saw Deb’s recipe to chop up a chocolate bar. I have done that in cookies before, I so should do a big bar for chocolate chip cookies. Thank you so much for your kind words.

    The cookies look so delicious and I can’t wait to try this recipe! Quick question- can I use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and dark chocolate?

    The recipe says to measure a teaspoon of dough. Seems small. The Toll House recipe uses 1 tablespoon – 3x as much dough. Please let me know. Thanks,

    Dave

      I have a teaspoon size cookie scooper, and I like having more because they go so quick. You can make them bigger if you choose.

    Can I use vegan butter? Can I also replace the egg with vegetable oil? I would like to make a vegan version of this recipe. Can you please help me? Thank you.

      The vegan butter yes, I don’t know about the oil? I would probably make a flax egg if possible. Let me know if you make them and how you did it.

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

Happy Monday! Is there anything better than loungi Happy Monday! Is there anything better than lounging in bed reading a book to your fur babies? The boys 🐶🐶 just loved it. 
🐾
The boys will do anything to get on the bed, especially when you put on the @downlitebedding. I know you have heard me say it before, but they love there Downlite Bedding comforters and pillows. I have never seen 2 dogs get so excited.
🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!
