Ive made these cookies twice now. Best ever. Additional tips: Make sure your browned butter is cooled down prior to mixing in with sugar. If its warm to your finger, its good to go in. If it feels "hot" let it continue cooling down before the addition. Shift the flour so the addition is even into the mixture. No clumps Use instant expresso powder. Not expresso grind. Dont overmix your final cookie dough until the addition of chocolate. I like to leave the outside bowl coated in alittle white flour until i add the chocolate. Over mixing cookies = denser cookie

Lol facts. Even baking cookie dough takes too long from the preheating the oven to the baking to the letting them cool so they don’t immediately turn into a gooey mess. But you do benefit alot from having cookies rest. Its the same with marination the flavor gets more intense and delicious. You can always make the dough in advance and freeze.

A REVIEW NO ONE ASKED FOR BY SOMEONE WHO JUST MADE THE DOUGH A COUPLE MINUTES AGO: Honestly at first this recipe was really daunting. But after having made the dough it's not as scary as it seems! If you're considering this recipe, keep reading! 1. The toffee? Probably my favorite part of this recipe ngl. I've never made something like it, I haven't even used a candy thermometer before. But it was so easy. Just stir, check the temp. I pulled it off the heat when the thermometer read 280 as opposed to 300, and poured it out. It was lighter and a little thicker than Alvin's. But I put it in the fridge for about an hour, and it turned out perfect. Seriously perfect. Dont just buy premade toffee. Dont skip the toffee. It is totally worth it. 2. Brown butter. I've never browned butter before. I was really worried about burning it, but you just gotta put it on medium heat, let it melt, and then just keep stirring. It might not be like a brown liquid, but rather a golden liquid with brown bits at the bottom. The smell reminded me of the toffee. I added two ice cubes and it was done! 3. The actual dough. Mixing all the dry ingredients together I noticed I accidentally put in baking powder instead of baking soda! I tried to fix it best I could, but if the baking is weird then it's my fault lol. Dont make my mistake. The dry ingredients smelled like espresso. I was a little worried as I dont really like the flavor of coffee, but once I added the butter and the vanilla all the flavors melded into just a great dough. Adding the chocolate and toffee (while snagging a few bites) the dough looked soooo good. Now it's in the fridge, resting while I must wait. So maybe I'll update this in 2-3 days when I bake them. Lol thanks for reading my rambling

@milkshook8105 4 жыл бұрын

OK UPDATE: lol so I actually baked these last Friday but forgot to update this SO. I decided not to shape them before I put them in the fridge, which was fine but it was very hard to scoop out the dough to form lol. It worked out fine. I decided to make them much smaller than what Alvin did (maybe like half size??) And baked them for about 15 minutes instead of 20. They came out really soft which is how I like my cookies, but over time they have gotten slightly more solid. They baked really well and were done. One this is I put like 12 cookies on the plate. At half the size they grew up a lot surprisingly. Some of them turned more into squares because they merged into each other. So if you want perfect circles you might wanna do like 6 per tray. They came out and looked gorgeous. The chocolate is going to be super melty (obviously) and they are gonna be just warm and gooey and perfect. That's the best time to eat them. Upon taste test, I can conclude that these are *THE MOST LUXURIOUS COOKIES I HAVE EVER EATEN*. I mean, wow. I was worried about the espresso but it adds such a nice flavor that compliments the chocolate and doesnt taste like coffee. The brown butter adds a really nice element to the flavor, it just really makes it taste...not carmelized, but just richer and more melt-in-your-mouth-y. The toffee softened in the oven, so it delivered a nice texture and wasnt too solid as to ruin the cookie feel. I used really big chunks in my cookies so I think chunks are up to you as it didnt ruin anything. One thing I would say is BE CAREFUL WITH THE SEA SALT. I added a little. Then though "eh that's not enough itll be too sweet" so I added more and it was super salty. I'd say go very little with the salt, or if you like sweet stuff maybe not even use it (although a little, once melted into the cookie a bit, tastes good). In conclusion these cookies were freaking delicious and I definitely recommend this. I made about 25 cookies by doing it about half the size as in the video, and they are still big cookies. I also ate a lot of the dough. This is one of the few recipes that I must say to spare the dough because the end result tastes better (which is usually not the case lol). Things that depend on your personal preference are chunk size, cookie size, and length of baking (soft vs crispy). The toffee and the brown butter are actually not as hard as they look! Just keep an eye on it and keep mixing! The smell and taste is totally worth it. After I've just written an essay for these cookies, I'm gonna go eat one now. Bye!

I know this channel is no longer active, and that this video was uploaded years ago, but this is one of the rare moments where i feel the need to comment on a video. I never knew a cookie could bring me such joy. I think i might go insane from how good it tastes. The nuttiness from the browned butter and its smell is amazing. There was so much salt in the batter for a cookie i was skeptical at first, but it turned out to be great bc it makes it taste like salted caramel and the espresso adds so much depth to the batter. It tastes so much like salted caramel popcorn and i love those especially when its done well. I want to thank you for sharing this recipe to the world and i do not know who taught you how to bake but whoever they are, wherever they may be, i'm sure they're very proud of how far you've come :)

I made these 1 week ago and overall I (and everyone else that ate them) was a huge fan! A few unsolicited observations: 1. I made the cookies according to the recipe but only added half of the toffee and I was glad I did. I enjoy sweets as much as the next guy and I think the entire batch of toffee would have been too overwhelming in these sinful cookies. 2. I baked a cookie immediately, after 24 hours and after 48 hours. The biggest change I experienced with each interval was with the sweetness of the cookie. As time went on, flavors became much more balanced and the extreme sweetness seemed to subside. 3. I tried cookies fresh out of the oven and after they came to room temp. For me, the room temp cookies were more delicious, it was overall more cohesive and interesting cookie to eat. 4. I baked the chilled dough at 350F for 18-21 minutes to achieve a slightly crisp edge and chewy core. 5. I used a 1/3c measuring cup to portion the dough before chilling. These cookies were monster (and thats GREAT!). Will definitely make these again

My friend, there's a whole lot more going on here than baking a chocolate chip cookie! You're being rewarded for appreciating the process and patience. I certainly would consider doing this for someone special, after all 48 hours is a long time, even for a great cookie! The final product looks yummy. Love the music makes the 48 hours more bearable. lol

[Pour butter into a cup after browning, and fill to the 1c/250ml line. I just did 250g butter since it reduces by a about 20g, but make sure it weighs 230g by adjusting or else it'll be greasy] Cookies: 100g granulated sugar 300g dark brown sugar 5g espresso powder 3g baking soda/bicarbonate of soda 2 eggs Splash of vanilla 315g plain flour 70% bittersweet chocolate [Notes] Scale dark brown sugar down to 200g, but mine turned out a bit grainy and greasy (didnt measure butter correctly on the first try) Definitely use the 70% chocolate, semisweet/50% isn't bitter enough, on my fail cookies, it was way too sweet and it needs the bitter to balance the sweetness. But scale sugar back if you use 50% or semisweet chocolate.

I just made these cookies (with modifications) and they're so good! I followed the recipe except for the toffee (it's too sweet for me). Using a 1/4 c (or 4 tbsp) cookie scoop, I was able to get 20 cookies. They spread to 4" in diameter once baked. First I baked as instructed (300F for 20 mins) and these cookies were crisp most of the way through and chewy in the very center. I reduced the baking time to 15 minutes and got a more chewy cookie that still had a crisp edge (my preference). If anyone makes this, I recommend only baking the amount of cookies you'll eat that day. Even wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in tubberware, the cookies lose mositure and chewiness after a day. I'm freezing the extra dough balls so I can bake fresh cookies whenever I want! Also, make sure you portion out the dough before you chill it for 2 days! I chilled my dough before portioning it and it was a lot harder to scoop. Whoops!
