Substitutions and AdditionsNuts: If you don’t like (or can’t eat) nuts, then just leave them out. You can always add a little more semisweet chocolate chips or even different colored chocolate if you like. Brown Sugar: You can use dark brown sugar if that’s what you have. It doesn’t change the taste too much but may make the cookies look a little darker once cooked. How to Make This Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies RecipeSTEP ONE: In a medium-size bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. STEP TWO: Using a stand mixer, or a medium to large mixing bowl and an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract until fluffy. PRO TIP: Make sure your ingredients are room temperature so that your batter comes out with the right consistency. STEP THREE: Add the egg and mix until no yellow streaks are visible. STEP FOUR: Lower the mixer speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture, mixing only until the flour is well incorporated. STEP FIVE: Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate chips and the nuts making sure the nuts and chocolate chips are evenly spread through the dough. STEP SIX: Cover the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour. STEP SEVEN: Before removing the cookie dough from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. STEP EIGHT: Remove the dough from the fridge and scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons.

Why do my Nestle Toll House cookies go flat?If your cookies repeatedly turn out flat, no matter the recipe, chances are your oven is too hot. Here's what's happening. The butter melts super quickly in a too-hot oven before the other ingredients have firmed up into a cookie structure. Therefore, as the butter spreads so does the whole liquidy cookie.
How do you make Nestle Toll House cookies soft?Reduce baking soda to 1/2 tsp and add 1/2 tsp of baking powder. Increasing the brown sugar will produce a softer and chewier cookie because brown sugar has a higher moisture content than granulated sugar. Soft and chewy cookies may be stored in airtight containers.
What makes a cookie chewy vs Crisp?Different types of sugars affect the texture because they absorb different amounts of water. Remember moisture is the key! White sugar creates crispier cookies and brown sugar creates chewier cookies. Chilling your cookie dough before baking prevents the cookie from spreading and creating cookie disasters like below.
How do you keep Toll House cookies from spreading?Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Coating your baking sheet with nonstick spray or butter creates an overly greasy foundation, causing the cookies to spread. I always recommend a silicone baking mat because they grip onto the bottom of your cookie dough, preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
