Tate’s Chocolate Cookies


Tate’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is Tate’s recipe – Anyone who’s lived in New York has no doubt had a small addiction to these delicious but crispy cookies. I used to go through 3 Bags a Week. This is the best, simplest chocolate chip cookie recipe – but the only difference is that I bake mine for eight minutes instead of twelve. Those extra four minutes yield Tate’s signature, crispy texture but I like them slightly chewy in the middle.
About 40 cookies
  • 2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) lightly salted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (Nestlé can’t really be beat)

Preheat the oven to 350º.

Whisk the flour, soda and salt together in a bowl. In another large bowl, mix the butter with a wooden spoon to lighten it a bit and then mix in the sugars. Add the water, vanilla and eggs to the butter mixture. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined and then fold in the chocolate chips. Using two soup spoons, drop the cookies 2″ apart onto two nonstick or greased cookie sheets. Bake for eight minutes, rotating the sheets after four minutes. Remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool, and repeat the process with the rest of the batter.
