Chris Morocco’s cookie recipe
Chris Morocco spent months developing this chocolate chip cookie recipe, testing at least 30 batches, then cross-testing the final version 10 more times, to land on his ideal: thin cookies with crisp, rippled edges, soft…
Key ingredients for texture
Browning some of the butter adds nutty depth, while a high proportion of dark brown sugar and extra egg yolks give the cookies their richness and signature chew.
Melted chocolate pockets
Chopped bittersweet chocolate creates pockets of melted chocolate throughout.
No mixer needed
And because the butter is melted, there’s no need for a mixer.
No overnight rest
Best of all, there’s no overnight rest; just give the dough a few minutes to hydrate before scooping.
Why cookies spread too much
Warm, loose cookie dough can spread excessively; letting it rest for 5, 10 minutes after mixing gives the flour time to hydrate.
Avoid silicone mats
Avoid silicone baking mats here, as they encourage spreading. Use parchment instead.
Weigh ingredients for accuracy
We recommend using a kitchen scale, particularly for the flour. Too little flour can lead to excessive spreading, while too much can make the cookies cakey.
The essence
