The best chocolate chip cookies from Canadian Living

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic in the world of baking that have won over palates across the globe. Their origin dates back to the United States in the 1930s, where they were created by Ruth Wakefield, who invented this delicious combination at her Toll House restaurant. In Latin America, this sweet treat is known by various names: in Mexico, they are simply called "galletas con chispas de chocolate," in Argentina they are also called "cookies," while in other countries like Colombia or Chile, they are referred to as "American cookies." This recipe has transcended borders due to its irresistible flavor and perfect texture that combines a crispy edge with a soft, caramelized center.

The popularity of chocolate chip cookies has inspired different variations and adaptations in each country, but their essence remains the same: a sweet dough packed with small pieces of chocolate that melt during baking. Furthermore, it is common to find variations with nuts, oats, or different types of chocolate, which allows for personalizing this iconic recipe to suit individual tastes. Without a doubt, it is a treat that brings families and friends together on any occasion.

How To Make The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies from Canadian Living

To begin, in a large bowl, mix the butter and shortening until you get a homogeneous cream.

Gradually incorporate the sugars, beating well so they integrate completely.

Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until you get a uniform preparation.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Incorporate this dry mixture into the creamy mixture, integrating everything homogeneously.

Add the chocolate chips and nuts, incorporating them gently into the dough.

Refrigerate the dough for a few minutes or let it rest at a cool room temperature for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Place rounded teaspoonfuls of the dough onto lightly greased baking sheets.

Flatten slightly and smooth the edges to form cookies about 1/2 inch thick.

Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 8-9 minutes, or until golden at the edges and slightly underdone in the center.

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes so they can finish setting.

Finally, transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
