    The BuzzFeed Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Taste Test: I'm doing something a little different on my YouTube today...

    BuzzFeed's The Best Fudgy Brownies and The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Taste Test on Lights, Camera, BAKE! I tried the viral Tasty's videos to see if the recipes for these brownies and cookies really were the best...

    Instead of creating and sharing one of my own creations, I'm testing BuzzFeed Tasty creations.

    BuzzFeed's The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Taste Test

    I'm always dubious and cautious when seeing claims of the best, fudgy brownies or chocolate chip cookies. After all, I believe I have the fudgiest brownies with these Flourless Fudge Brownies. I'm also just as cautious when people claim the greatest, chewy chocolate chip cookies. I mean, I have these===>>> Chocolate Chip Cookies.

    However, I was intrigued - as I'm sure a lot of us are - when we see Tasty's recipe videos taking over our social media. So, on behalf of us all, I turned the kitchen into the BuzzFeed Recipe Test Kitchen. Watch the results below!

    Below you will find copies of the recipes with my notes and few adjustments I made to them. You can find the links to the BuzzFeed recipes here and here.

    BuzzFeed's Tasty Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

    BuzzFeed's The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Taste Test
    Prep Time10 minutes mins
    Cook Time15 minutes mins
    Total Time25 minutes mins
    Course: Dessert, Snack
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 16 Cookies
    Calories: 202kcal
    Author: Emma Burton

    Ingredients

    • ⅓ Cup Sugar (75g)
    • ⅔ Cup Brown Sugar (130g)
    • ½ Cup Butter, Melted (110g)
    • 1 Large Egg
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
    • 1 and ¼ Cups All-Purpose Flour (155g)
    • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
    • ¾ Cups Milk Chocolate, Chopped (135g)
    • ¾ Cups Dark Chocolate, Chopped (135g)
    Metric - US Conventional

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars and butter.
    • Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk.
    • Stir in the flour and baking soda and then mix with a spatula.
    • Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly, then chill the dough for at least 40 minutes. For less spreading, chill the the dough longer.
    • Roll the cookie dough into balls and place onto the prepared baking tray leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.

    Notes

    The cookies did turn out flatter than I hoped so was a little disappointed with that. I think next time I would chill the dough a bit longer to see if that helped. The cookies were definitely chewy and the use of real chopped chocolate was a definite win.
