Changes we made from the original TikTok Video.

After reading the ingredients, there were a lot of complaints about too much flour, so we lessened the original recipe by 1/4th of a cup and had pretty good results. As a professional food blogger, one of the most complex categories of food to reproduce is baking and desserts.

It’s very easy to overmeasure or pack ingredients like flour. It’s possible the original viral cookie recipe had more flour and worked just fine, but users that recreated it didn’t measure the same way. 

Did we like this chocolate chip cookie recipe? These seemed more straightforward to make than traditional cookies and we thought they were super tasty. They were just like a normal cookie. So a little crunch on the outside and chewy inside. 

Ingredients: 

• Wet Ingredients – Unsalted Butter, granulated white sugar, light brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
• Dry Ingredients – All-purpose flour and baking soda.
• Chocolate chunks – We like Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chunk Morsels.

How to make TikTok Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. 
2. Add butter to a saucepan on the stove. Heat over medium heat, melting butter, and cook for 5-8 minutes. Butter should be browned, bubbly, and have a nutty aroma and flavor.
3. Remove browning butter mixture from heat and let stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
4. Add sugars and mix until the consistency is like wet sand.
5. Add egg, and vanilla and mix well. 

6. Mix together flour and baking soda into the sugar mixture and mix well. Fold flour mixture into the dough just until combined.
7. Fold chocolate chunks into cookie dough.
8. Use a two tablespoon portion cookie scoop to scoop dough onto a baking sheet, keeping cookies 2″ apart.
9. Bake time is about 12-14 minutes before removing from the oven.
10. Let stand on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before placing cookies onto a cooling rack.
11. Let baked cookies cool completely before enjoying them with a tall glass of milk! 

Expert Tips

• For some depth of flavor, add flaky sea salt. Coarse salt tastes amazing with milk chocolate chips!
• Add an extra egg yolk for a chewier cookie. More egg yolks create a softer, chewier cookie, and fewer egg yolks have a crisp texture.
