The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie

by Sheena Posted on July 25, 2012

Ok…so I have admittedly confessed I have a sweet tooth, but my ultimate weakness is a simple homemade chocolate chip cookie. As hard as I may try, it is impossible for me to walk by the cookie jar, without taking a little bite. My dad taught me a trick for “snacking”…instead of eating an entire cookie, just take small bites throughout the day until you have eaten half a dozen or more. Anyway…now that I am thinking about cookies, I am debating whether or not to whip up this recipe again. I normally make basic chocolate chip cookies, and they are quite delicious, but this batch was extra scrumptious because I added two types of chocolate and sweetened shredded coconut. This combination was amazing and possibly the most delicious cookie you will ever eat.

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 40
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (room temp)
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • 1⅓ cup white sugar
  • 1½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans, but you can substitute you favorite)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bag (12oz) chocolate chunks (I used semisweet for this batch)
  • ½ bag (6oz) white chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
  1. Cream together the butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla in stand mixer with fitted paddle attachment
  2. Sift dry ingredients together.
  3. In the stand mixer bowl, stir together the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients
  4. With a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate chunks/chips, coconut, and nuts.
  5. Bake 325 for 10 to 12 minutes on a lightly greased cookie sheet (with parchment paper) for easy clean up
Notes
This batch makes approximately 40 small cookies. I use a tsp cookie scoop to insure all of the cookies are the same size. For this batch, each cookie was 2 tsps.

There are many different facets of interest in my personal and professional life. My passion for baking has developed over the past several years; I love the satisfaction of sharing my delicious treats with friends and family. My sweet tooth, and love of baking is quite contradictory of my profession. I am a dentist, and currently a post-doctoral student, studying a dental specialty. My other interest is health and fitness...again...quite controversial of my baked goods..but, I believe....all things in moderation. I enjoy running and working out, and even making healthy entrees for my husband and I. After following several other food blogs, I decided, that this would be a new hobby. I am passionate about everything I take part in, and hope that you enjoy this blog and that it inspires you to make each day delicious with homemade prepared meals....and desserts :)

    I made these cookies and they were amazing. I had to cook them for 20 min instead of 10 and I did not add coconut because my husband doesnt care for it. My husband is a cookie connisuer and really enjoyed these.

    These cookies are the perfect consistency! They turned out fabulously after baking them for 10 min. I substituted Milk choc. chips bc I like everything super sweet! Next time I will follow the recipe and use the semi sweet bc with the milk choc.chip they were a bit too sweet, even for me. I omitted the nuts. Also, I used tablespoon size cookies and it made 50 cookies. I brought 30 cookies into my office and they devoured them with in 2 hours. I will definitely make these again. A very easy recipe with GREAT results!!

    I made these last night and then brought half of them into work today, everyone at worked loved them! I was thinking about bringing some more in tomorrow but when I came home my boyfriend had eaten the whole other half! I did get to eat a few, don’t worry, and they were outstanding!!!!! And my favorite food is chocolate chip cookies and these by far are the best I have ever had!
