Tates Bake Shop Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two cookies sheets or line them with parchment paper or Silpat mats. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. In another large bowl (I used my stand mixer) cream the butter and sugars. Add the water and vanilla. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Add the eggs and mix them lightly. Stir in the flour (I pulse the stand mixer until the dry ingredients combine.) Fold in the chocolate chips; don't overmix the dough. Drop the cookies 2 inches apart using two tablespoons or a small ice cream scoop. Bake them for 12 minutes or until the edges and center are brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, Kahlua, cocoa powder, espresso powder and vanilla. Mix on low speed to combine and then slowly raise the speed until it forms firm peaks.
• To assemble the cake, arrange chocolate chip cookies flat in an 8-inch springform pan, covering the bottom as much as possible. (I break some cookies to fill in the spaces.) Spread a fifth of the mocha whipped cream evenly over the cookies. Place another layer of cookies on top, lying flat and touching, followed by another fifth of the cream. Continue layering cookies and cream until there are 5 layers of each, ending with a layer of cream. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Run a small sharp knife around the outside of the cake and remove the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the top with the chocolate, cut into wedges and serve cold.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease or line 2-3 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt.
• In another large bowl, cream the butter and sugars, then add the water and vanilla. Mix until just combined.
• Add eggs to the butter mixture and mix them lightly.
• Stir in the flour mixture. When flour is mixed in, fold in the chocolate chips.
• Drop 2 tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough 2-inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Make sure the cookie sheets are well greased. I like to use parchment paper.
• Bake for 12-17 minutes or until the edges and centers of the cookies are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool on wire racks.
